Conditional data validation (list drop-down)
Hi everyone,
I am a newbie in the forum.
I am struggling to achieve conditional data validation in Excel 2007.
Data -
Please see attachment.
Here is what I want to achieve:
Cell 1 - Select estate type - This I have put list using data validation.
Cell 2 - Select building type - Based on the selection in the cell above, I want only the corresponding building types to appear in the list dropdown
E.g. If Cell 1 - Catering, Cell 2 should show only the relative [Fast Food Restaurants,Public Houses,Restaurants (with Bar), and Restaurants (in Public Houses)] in the list
I am aware that it can be done with 'IF' function but as I understand one can have only 7 nested 'IF's and number of estate types is far greater than 7.
Please help.
Thanks,
AK
