In this video you'll learn how to create multiple dependent dropdown lists in Excel. This will include an XLOOKUP and data validation. Once this is clear, we'll also use the autopopulate feature that will change depending on your dropdown answers. We'll do this by combining the TRANSPOSE funcion with the XLOOKUP. FInally, we'll create an error check so the dropdown choices make sense. For example, if you select Europe as the region, it should only allow you to select European countries. For this we'll use the COUNTIFS and the XLOOKUP to make an error check, alongside a conditinal formatting to make it stand out.

Hello Kenji. This is a very helpful video. I am wondering if can we use spin button from the developer tab instead of drop down list. For example: the first spin button will spin Region and the second spin button will spin only those Countries of a Region selected by first spin. Thanks

[@colewest2259]

How would you do a dropdown but with different formulas ?

[@chidinduuwaeziozi7360]

We could use a custom data validation formula to ensure the right list is always shown instead of simply marking the wrong one

[@EffigyOfAdam]

Doesn't work on 365. As soon as I get to the second Data Validation list it errors out "This entry leads to an error. Try entering different values to continue."

[@ENDTIMEHOLINESSREVIVALMO-df3xx]

Hi iam using excel 2016 and always having trouble when making dropdowns instead of words in dropdown go down one by one but instead they are all in one place

[@coastalb1]

Word of caution. I updated a file with validations for drop downs and used a transpose formula. The file is used by a team in 3 geographically different places, soon to be 4 and must be shared. The transpose formula “breaks” the validation in one column because it is a shared file. Will update it with one of your suggestions to select horizontal selection for the validation. Thanks!

Haha you're on fire! Thanks for supporting always :)

[@MrNicho2011]

I have office 2016, =XLOOKUP(... ) isnt availlable, what can i do ?

[@XavierSmithSchwazenegger]

upgrade to 2021 or buy ms365 subscription

[@BoooDave]

You’ll probably have to use index match. In older versions, that’s what was generally used when vlookup wasn’t good enough, so it was essentially the precursor to xlookup. Bit more complicated, but not too bad once you get used to it. Just google index match and you’ll find guides etc easily as it was common practice for a long time.

[@sonicanic]

try indirect and create a name range for each row and refer to it. that worked for my usecace bc i dont need to add rows that often

[@AbdulAbdul-bu4lr]

Why must we download a file to practice?
Why don't you teach us from scratch?

[@KenjiExplains]

It’s a free file so you don’t have to type all of the values manually as that’s very tedious. Just saving you some time

[@user-gw1bq7ff4o]

I have a question Kenji. Is there any such formula which can automatically separate the amounts of multiple items in one order id in the total amount column?
Order ID Product Qty Product Price Payment Mode Cash Amount Card Amount Total Amount

20240520213102 1 799 Card 0 8500 8500
