I loved the data validation list post which shortened the lists to remove blanks

Dynamically List Excel Sheet Names • My Online Training Hub

If I do these as 1 drop down list, they work fine

but when i try and have 2 validation lists with the 2nd being dependent on the outcome of a 1st the 2nd list doesn't populate.

 

e.g. Cell  A1, The 1st validation list is just that validation  set to list and then a source

2nd list , I use  indirect(A1) as the source.

 

any ideas anyone please?

Hi Lee,

Without seeing what you did, we cannot say why.
It will be best if you upload a sample file with your attempt, will be much easier to help you.
