excel 2010 - Varying validation drop-downs based on varying cell values -


i attempting have cells in column “u” deliver different drop-down menus based on corresponding value in column “d”. have created 7 named lists:

list_117g list_152 list_jmet list_xband list_pacwind list_vortex list_rover 

those lists called based on 7 values in column “d”:

g 152 j x d/e v r 

so far have been able work first category g. when change value of column d g 152 no longer drop-down. here formula using in list function of validation.

=if(d6="g",list_117g,if(d6="152",list_152,if(d6="j",list_jmet,if(d6="x",list_xband,if(d6="d/e",list_pacwind,if(d6="v",list_vortex,if(d6="r",list_rover,))))))) 

what doing wrong?

when type '152' cell, stored number. can change format of number (e.g. display currency, percentage, date, text, etc), value number unless use text formula display text.

in if statement, if want compare cell value number, can't have quotes around it.

example:

                           b 1    152                =if(a1="152",true,false) <----this return false 1    152                =if(a1=152,true,false) <----this return true 1    =text(152,"#")   =if(a1="152",true,false) <----this return true 

long story short, take quotes off of number 152 in if statement , should work.
