How about if if you add a separete options for one-A and so on?

I am yet to find out how to make a entry row that gets the information put in first six cells postponed one or two rows below as soon as I change the status of the cell six of that first row. The idea is to keep the most recent data on top automatically and keep using first row as a data entry row. Not sure if it can be done

Im doing a yearly production record. I can (and have) made a dependent drop down with the first column representing our brands and the second representing individual products that brand offers. Im trying to make each months production (aka one sheet) have the dependent drop downs. Does that mean i need to create a cell reference for each sheet?! Or is there a way to have the dependent drop downs show on each sheet with just the one "master" set of cell references? Im also aware this may be an app script thing but im hoping not...

Very helpful tutorial. One thing that your video did not discuss though is that on your "Notes" tab column E has to be copied (I did past 100 to test). It will show blank (as discussed) until information is put into your "Main" tab (such as A60). Then the information on your "Notes" tab will have info.

Hi there, just want to thank you for the video! I have a very similar setup I'm trying to implement in our Wholesale Order sheet. Currently everything works, except for when an order is complete and it's time to remove it from the list; the only way I've found that doesn't break the dynamic dropdown is to copy ALL the data beneath the 'obsolete' order, paste it on top of the old order, and then manually remove whatever was left at the bottom that is now duplicate. Is there a way to delete rows mid-sheet without wreaking havoc on the cell references? I'm not actually using FILTER, just ArrayFormula, TRANSPOSE and a whole lot of nested IF statements (I modified from another tutorial I'd found). Is there a way to use Scripts instead to, on delete of a row, force the dynamic data validation references to shift up relatively?

How do you maintain the integrity of choices when you sort your Option 1 column? (Or sort all your data by a different column)? All the validation doesn't stay aligned when the data is sorted.

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial, very helpful! Just wondering if I can apply the same formula to the next column. E.g. After I select the cell on column B from the drop down list, then on column C, it will appear another filtered drop down list.

Really made it simple and easy to understand. Only one thing I would like to know is if I have selected value from drop down in B2 and then I change the value of A2, it shows invalid cell but does not clear it. Is there any way to clear the cell as I am using the combination of 2 values to get final result. Be my lifesaver too ;)

Love the video and how you explain everything. Maybe I missed this. on my main tab - I have category (A) and subcategory (B). I can drag the categories all the way down.. no problem. but can't get the subcategories to populate all the way down the page. Any thoughts. Thank you.

Question... Is it possible: I am doing a stock sheet, Names of companys are in cell A, ticker in B. The Following 170 cells are company data. I have made a droppdown menu choosing ticker and the company names, ticker ect comes opp to a bigger window with the current 12 month graph. This info is from googlefinance. BUT i would love to have like: PS, PB and other numbers popping up to that i can not get from google finance. Like i want Teslas P/B, Tesla is on line A27, ticker on B27 and say PB on X27. Is there a way to say if ticker is TSLA get infro from ""=X27?

I have a question. I am trying to make multiple dropdowns of the same list of items, but I want that list to exhaust itself after all the dropdown options have been chosen. Here's what I mean: I have 4 dropdown lists containing 4 options each. In dropdown list #1, I have options A, B, C, and D In dropdown #1, if I select option D, dropdown #2 will exclude option D; only options A to C will be available. Now, in dropdown 2, if I select option A, dropdown #3 will only contain options B and C. That's what I am trying to do. So how do I perform this set of operations? If I continue on with that pattern and select option C, then dropdown #4 will only have one available option which is B. For clarity, the reason A, C, and D are not available in dropdown #4 is because they were already selected in dropdowns #1, #2, and #3. Thank you for your time.

Now there is a Edit Button in drop down list which is creating problem to Owner. If owner creates certain options in dropdown and share it with other to fill the information just by selection. But EDIT BUTTON allow editors to edit the dropdown list. any suggestions

If you insert or move rows in your main sheet, it causes problems. Do you have a way to fix this?

When using filter by A-Z or Z-A, how to solve the non dynamic range problem in the data validation ? Thanks!

Nice tutorial. Cant i add another layer of selection using same method? Lets say one-A-1 based on your example

Can you only attach one range or multiple?

Can anyone tell me how to copy a data validation column across infinite columns that go in the direction of the right of the page?

Hello! I am making a spreadsheet kind of like the one that you are doing in the video except mine is for dog shows and the groups that the breeds are in for the dog shows, like for example there is a Herding group and there are 31 breeds in that group and I need to make a drop-down list so when I select the group Herding in Column A the drop-down list in column B will be all the breeds in that Group, The way that I have it set up currently is that I have Group in A1 and Breed in B1, From A3-A33 I did a data Validation with Item list with the names of the 7 groups as choices in the drop-down list, Now I need to do the same in Column B3:B33 to where when I select let's say Working Group in Column A3 and I go to the drop-down list in Column B3 I would like it to change to the breed list for that specific group. Kind of like when you go on a car dealership's website and select the make say like Chrysler and when you click Model it has all the models made by Chrysler so on and so forth. Thank you for your help in advance.
