In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to create dependent dropdown lists in Excel. This feature allows you to select a value in one dropdown list that influences the available options in subsequent dropdown lists. It’s an incredibly useful tool for creating dynamic and interactive forms, and I’ll show you just how easy it is to set up.
In this tutorial, we’ll create an order form for the Kevin Cookie Company, where the items in one dropdown list will filter the options available in another. For instance, if a customer selects “cookie,” they’ll see all our delicious cookie options, and if they choose “drink,” they’ll see all our refreshing drink options. We’ll also set up additional dropdowns for more specific selections, like coffee types or smoothie flavors.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to create named ranges in Excel.
- Setting up the first dropdown list.
- Creating dependent dropdown lists using the INDIRECT function.
- Troubleshooting common issues with named ranges.
- Making your forms more dynamic and user-friendly.
