Can the values in a dropdown menu be from a unique list?

C. Ruiz

I have a column, lets call it [Names]. And another column, [Tests]. Lets say I have 3 rows.

In the column [Names], I have the values:

Row1: Rick

Row2: Cait

Row3: Rick

In the column [Tests], I have the values:

Row1: A

Row2: B

Row3: C

Now Let's say I have another column (A dropdown), is there a way I can do an index formula where I type in Rick, and then within the dropdown it will show "A" and "B" to select from?

Hi @C. Ruiz

Unfortunately cell dropdowns cant be active to the point where they change based on input elsewhere on the row or sheet.

Sorry

Thanks

Hi @C. Ruiz

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• You could use conditional form logic if it's not too advanced.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,
