Drop Down List Query
Hi I am just learning Excel trying to setup a spreadsheet - my query is how do you set up a drop down list which contains variable information - linked to another spreadsheet where the information is input. I want to be able to change list using week numbers which return a set of varible data for that week. Can anyone advise best way to tackle this? Thanks |

To create the drop-down list -- is it text or numerical values? -- you would first want to list out the variables somewhere. It could be another worksheet. For example, if your dropdown would offer a choice of:
Pizza Tacos Macaroni and Cheese Chef Salad Tofu Stir-Fry, make a series of rows somewhere. Then, where you want your dropdown, select "Data Validation" and choose the List option. Tell it your source data is the array of cells you typed the list in. If your array is numbers or dates, then you can calculate based on the values selected. Apply data validation to cells - Office Support I'm not clear on whether your dropdown would BE the week number, or related to the week number in some way. |
