[Anwsered] Data Validation with Criteria to limit list

Data Validation with Criteria to limit list

Hi
I have a very large spreadsheet which we are using for production planning and use the data validation to select the product from the main "Data" Sheet.
As the product list is very long I would like to be able to limit the list so that it only shows products for a particular zone or Line when they select on the "PlanSummaryA" sheet in the products column.
It would be good if it could also exclude blank cells.

"Data" Sheet is

ColB          ColC             ColG
ZONE        Line             Product
Zone1        A1               Product1
Zone1        A1               Product2
Zone1        A1               Product3
Zone1        A1               Product4
Zone2        A2               Product5
Zone2        A2               Product6
Zone2        A2               Product7
Zone3        A3               Product8

"PlanSummaryA" Sheet is (ColC needs to have the Data Validation List).
If this can only be done with one criteria I would like to use the ZONE)

ColC
Product

The Data Validation would then limit it to the products associated with Zone.

I hope this makes some sense.
I couldn't see how to load up an extract of the spreadsheet.

Thank You

Hi,

Try this

1. Taking a cue form a similar question which I answered at this link -
http://www.ashishmathur.com/dynamically-extract-unique-values-from-a-filtered-range/, I extracted unique zones by writing the following array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) in cell B38 of the Data sheet and then copied down till cell B47

=IFERROR(INDEX($B$6:$B$26,SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH($B$6:$B$26,$B$6:$B$26,0),ROW($B$6:$B$26)-ROW($B$5)),ROW($B$6:$B$26)-ROW($B$5)),ROWS(B$4:B4))),"")

2.
I then created a named range (vlist) with the following formula

=OFFSET(Data!$B$38,COUNTA(Data!$B$38:$B$47)-COUNTBLANK(Data!$B$38:$B$47)-1,0,-(COUNTA(Data!$B$38:$B$47)-COUNTBLANK(Data!$B$38:$B$47)))

3.
I then clicked in cell A8 of the PlanSummaryA sheet and under Data > Validation > List, I wrote the following formula

=vlist

On doing so, the validation list in cell A8 of the PlanSummaryA sheet showed only four zones.

Hope this helps.
