Excel Help: Creating drop down list

[trance]

So basically:

Drop down selectables: Bank, Home, Personal

Bank: 1,2,3,4,5
Home: A,B,C,D
Personal: new,old,medium

So when any of the a title is chosen in the drop down list, it displays all of the values for it down teh column.

Ex. If I chose Bank from the drop list this would happen:

1
2
3
4
5

or maybe if I choose Home:

A
B
C


Yes, I'm a n00b thats why I need help!

just use Excel help and look for drop down menus!

Then just use nested IF statements to do the rest.

This belongs in the programming forums. You'll get the response you need there.

You can google this, its actually quite easy.

I've tried to no avail. I can't find any examples of making the entire list appear when selected from the drop list.

yep, drop down menu is the answer

Simply dropdown only returns 1 value rather then the entire list.

Go to your top toolbar. Select Data --> Filter --> AutoFilter. Do an excel help search for AutoFilter for advice on how to use it.

Did you need it to display only that specified category?

W000t, Thanks glutenberg. It worked. It went to CUSTOM and then EQUAL. Now all values with the same column values are returned to the list!

data-validation - list also enables things like this
