Thanks for sharing this wonderful information, especially the searchable drop down list. What an eye opener!
Thank you!!! I was looking for Searchable Drop Down List and you gave me heaven!! You have no idea how much this is going to make my hard daily work much more enjoyable! I’ll never forget you and your skills shared!!!!!
Excellent tutorial. 17 minutes in and with that Offset and Counta formula I was extremely confused for some reason, but I finally managed to recreate what you did.
Thank you so much for this. Pure gold. People actually pay good cash to learn such stuff. Instant sub.
Your explanation is crystal clear! Not fast, Not slow, I loved it!
I'm an Excel Addict! Love this course, using Office 365 and it's great!
Thank you! After watching so many different methods in other videos, this one finally worked for me!
I am really grateful for the introduction of dynamic dependant drop down list. I have been confused by the problem for more than two years and now I find the answer.
God bless you for making this I sincerely appreciate you! Thank you!
Danke Marco für dieses unglaublich hilfreiche Tutorial. Das wird meine inzwischen sehr kompliziert gewordenen Excel-Setups erheblich vereinfachen. Vielen Dank!

This is life changing
I was always Shit when it come to school and learning, I'm rather dumb and just cant be bothered with school again, but thanks to your videos I am able to still get good jobs for the skills i picked up from you, I really thank you a lot!!
Also, we can generate dynamic drop down list with using name manager, which consists of table name because table name is not working in list section.
Great!
It's also possible to make the Named Ranges dynamic with the =OFFSET(Sheet1!$F4,1,,COUNTA(Sheet1!F:F)-1), use this method for many years with succes.
I love these videos! After a tutorial you did I made a sheet that tracks all sorts of Instagram Statistics.
My question is, is it possible or do you have a tutorial about fetching data from a website and implementing
it into the Excel sheet? For instance how many followers you have or the amount of posts you got on said website.
Thank you very much. A quick feedback. Timestamps would be super helpful to jump to certain chapters.
This tutorial is literally saving my life right now. I think I was on the verge of a panic attack trying to figure all this out.
Great video man! Got a workbook also for this?
Maaan.. You really made a great video here.. The searchable list was an issue for me.. Big Thanks
My pleasure 😊 Glad it was helpful.
Nice
You are super 👌 ❤
solid #DropDownList tutorial
Great tutorial! Any idea how make it dynamic for search cell (b5 in your case)?
Amazing
Thank you 😊
Thank you for the master class. Just kindly put time stamps for each skill covered. Thanx
Could you please make an addition tutorial on how to achieve multiple searchable drop down in many rows without VBA? Currently our office still use Excel 2016...
My query is same, kindly help.
Yes... Thank you for your free tutorial but would have been good if you would have mentioned that Searchable Lookup can only be done on one row. (in other words lookup on 2nd row would require a whole new lookup construct)
Same
Hello, thank you for your very beautiful tutorials .. Is it possible to put a tutorial of a login page in PowerPoint? ... Thank you.
33:04 great thx
My pleasure 😊 glad you found it useful
Couple month ago I've made multi-level drop list and today i dont understand how i did it. :)
Great tutorial ! Can you please share the Excel file used in this video?
Thanks for this informative video on the Filter Function but I've been struggling for weeks trying to implement it in my example. I have multiple dependent drop down lists and the list data is in a separate sheet, how to I then reference the second dependent drop down if the drop down is in another sheet and multiple rows? Do I reference it when I create a unique list in the filter function or do I do it in the validation? Any help would be much appreciated folks as it has been driving me crazy for weeks now hehehe
Amazingggg
Thank you 😊
Another great video...
Thank you, Kevin 😊
@@theofficelab hope you could touch on power BI, I really cannot with that app.. But it looks great to work with
Power BI is one of the topics at the top of my list! So stay tuned.
First time I follow such a well explained tutorial on Excel. I appreciate the fact you're showing different ways of doing the same thing and that you keep adding to it, really understanding each feature.
However, I have an issue with the dynamic dropdown list (using offset or not). You're saying at 5:30 that if you rename an item in the "list" it gets updated on the first "sheet". This is only half-true because if you've already selected an item for your sheet, ket's say in your example projet A has "Purchasing" selected, and you modify the name in the list to "Purchase", then your sheet won't show the update... It will get stuck to Purchasing on projet A because it was already selected.
In my case, this is what's happening, so it's pretty annoying as there is only a link to the cell but not it's content, so I have to make sure my list never changes in terms of terminology. Any idea please? Thx for your help
Hi,
My name is Joel and I’ll start off by saying thank you for all of your help this far. I’ve watched your video tutorials, but I had questions and needed help. I hope this catches your interest and you can help me. I know that everyone is busy with their own stuff and if you can’t help me I understand.
So I’ll start off by describing what I would like to do, much like what you did in some of your tutorials except I don’t know how to apply it to my workbook.
I have a main page that needs to pull data from different sheets, 220 or so. The way it works is as follows; you select your SPEC from the data validation cell, after that the CATEGORY within that SPEC, then your CHOICES should show.
I’ve gotten this to work up to the category part. I am stuck on making the “CHOICES Data Validation” part, how to make the choices show since they are in different sheets.
That’s my most important part I need to figure out. I’ve only populated the first 46 sheets as I didn’t know if this format will even work.
My second problem is that is that I have been extracting the data from other workbooks by creating a formula in each and every single one then copying and pasting it in their designated spec sheet. Which by the way takes for ever as I have only done 46 of 220 of them. There’s got to be an easier way to do this if not I’ll just keep copying and pasting. I am an excel beginner.
I would greatly appreciate your help on this and again thanks for all of help this far your tutorials are amazing.

Thanks for the video, may I have a copy of this exercise please.
ooh yea...this is the stuff
Excellent tutorial. An enhancment for users would be to add an entry in a dropdown which is actually not included in the data-tables. The system should ask whether to add the new entry or cancel.
Would be hapy to get a feedback from anyone that has a solution for above issue.
I want to ask if I will have access to the new functions and formulas in MS Excel if I purchase any package of the Microsoft 365
I love your videos. I've learnt a lot
Yes, these new functions should be available in any Microsoft 365 subscription.
Nice job. Put iits excel Files in the description....
Boss, can u make that droplist expand without click it, just tiping in the cell?
UNIQUE function first mentioned at 35:26 isn't available in 2019 or earlier, only Office 365. Maybe should have mentioned this at the beginning of video.
43:42 You don't need to modify the Name Manager's names since Dinamic Tables will update the range everytime when you add new data.
Other than that really great video on how to Master the Drop Down feature.
Keep it going!
Thank you. Is it possible to have multiple selections in the drop down list, and the dependant list provides appropriate options?
E.g. in your example if I want to select both Asia and Europe, and subsequently China, Japan, Germany, UK? I've been stuck on this for a while now.
nice !!!, but how we can do dependent drop down if the data is on another workbook?
Hi, would you mind showing how to use an Excel to create Crossword Puzzles with design. Would be pretty fun to know!
Hi Rahul.
Thanks for your suggestion 😊 Sounds fun, but regarding Excel I decided put the focus of this channel on topics that can be used in a business context. Hope you understand.
For dependant drop down lists, when we put them as a table, is the list dynamic both ways (adding AND taking items away)? Or is the list dynamic only one way, ie., items can be added dynamically?
Hello! Is there a formula I could use to automatically keep on adding the new value of a cell to it's previous value?
E.g. I have a dropdown list of a driver's traffic offense in say cell A2. The list is already linked to another sheet such that once I select an offense from the drop down, the related penalty point appears in cell B2 as a value (say 5 points). Upon selecting another offense worth 10 points for the same driver, i need cell B2 to automatically increase to 15 (i.e. 5+10) and on and on...
hello! how do I get my 2nd level of drop-down list be automatically indicated when I choose the 1st level of drop-down list?
Thank you so much for you advice!
Can you show me how to calculate average waiting times with 2 different ranges of dates by week
Hi, there was a video of manager the task where you can put a start date and a end date and the conditions format show the line in color.
Do you remove it, becouse I didn't find it!
48:15 dynamic searchable dropdown list
Thanks sir for great lessons. Sir my task list keep changing, I want to show drop down only for show tasks...pls help me for this.
How do you get to change or increase the font size of the drop down options text. They can be too small to read. The least is that they should share the default font size.
Can you and add a searchable drop down and a calculation to a dashboard ?
For example, I want to look up an item number, type in the quantity and see the cost of multiple things.
How did you get such nice colors in Fill tab ? Can you tell me how to get those ?
Great sir one more thing how can I apply same searchable list on other cell thanks
Great video on how to use Offset and CountA, when I try this in my excel it does'nt work, I only see the top row "Michael" and nothing else....
The drop down list with the defined tables works great when you add more rows to the table. But if you remove an item from the table then the list gets an empty entry. How can you solve that? Make it so that the drop down list automatically updates when you add and remove entries?
Sir, if we delete some task from list(Column B), than drop down will remain in the cells(Column C). Is this possible to remove drop down settings also for Column C
Good Stuff! 🙂
My only concern is that the coloring using "Conditional Formatting" on by the "Team Members" list
and the "Assigned To" list don't seem to be connected; therefore, they could be out of synch.
I suppose you could use VBA to remedy this (maybe -- need to think about it), otherwise I don't see the usefulness of have the color coding in both places
Although
I do like it on the "Task Assignment" list...
Thoughts?
What if you delete the data in the middle of the list? How will it remove the blank space?
Thanks!
Hey, what happened to the "ultimate Gantt chart for project management" video?? please, I beg you to upload the video again!! pleaseeeeeee
I 2nd this too. I had it saved to pick up and watch at a later date however now it has disappeared :(
Can we apply this Combine Drop list with number or timing , for calculation of the next appointment example ?
I tried many time for fix timing (15 min, 30 min and 1 Hr) to calculate the next schedule but i didn’t succeed......
