Hi
I have a problem in creating dependent lists with validation, and in my filter, I have the Data Validation entry with space, or with "&", or with "-" , I used =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(J9," ","_"), it works for the entry with space, but it didn't work for "&" and "-".
what I should do then?
thanks,
Yvonne 
Hi Yvonne,
Welcome to our forum! Please attach a sample Excel file so we can see the whole picture of your formula and how it relates to the worksheet. Anonymise it if required.

HI
Try it again.
Hello,
In order to substitute several characters you need to nest the SUBSTITUTE function per character/word you want to change. You can read more about it in this blog post.
Example: =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C9,"&","_"),"-","_")," ","_")
