dependent this

Hello,
There is a source sheet that has the relationship between –
Region, country, state, county, city.

How do I do a dependent drop down from this data for the above?

Thank you

Hello itJockey,

thank you for your help so far. I want it to read directly from raw data that has that relationship. Example of raw data is similar to here >>
http://www.contextures.com/xlSampleData01.html

Now how do i set it up - i am staying away from any manual creation as this report will be daily and needs to be refreshed for the 5 drop down metrics.

Also your data has only one city under any given condition - whereas in real world - its one to many

Naresh Patel

you can achieve this process by just applying Filter.

Also, by the way in the UK we do not have States; we only have counties. So straight away there is going to be a problem with you lists. Then again it could be a potential saving as you could combine the two lists into one, "State/County".

See below for a couple of examples of the equivalent structure in the UK.

Where I am currently sat:
Region: Europe
Country: UK (or would it be England; as opposed to Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland)
County: Somerset
District: South Somerset
Town: Yeovil

Where I live:
Region: Europe
Country: UK
County: Somerset
District: Sedgemoor
Town: Bridgwater
