How to set value in the dropdown from a JSON data list?

Microsoft Excel: How do I set the dynamic Data Validation in sh1:colB, when the dropdown list shall be based on data in sh2:colA-R? cells in sh1:colA are dynamically validated by sh2:A1-R1, while sh1:colB shall be dynamically validated by sh2:A2-R20.

  • Excel dynamic validations

  • Answer:

    Could you provide a little clarification, what sort of data validation etc? Also would be easier to understand the issue if you use example data. For example BMWs are available in red and blue, Mercedes in blue and green; column 1 is cars, column 2 is colours and I want to make sure you can only select colours in which the cars are available etc.

You probably need to organise your data a little different. I've written about dynamic data validation (drop-down list) in my blog - maybe that could be helpful: http://exceliseasy.wordpress.com/2012/10/15/create-a-dynamic-drop-down-in-excel-in-5-minutes/
