Drop down lists

Is there a way to combine an if function with a drop down list?

RE: Drop down lists

not without using VB. Can you please explain why you want to do that and I will be able to help more?

Thanks

RE: Drop down lists

Hi Paul

I have created a drop down list.

I want to create a merge a drop down list with an IF statement.

For eg:

If the left colum contains a yes then this colum is o otherwise choose from the drop down list.

Colmn A Colm B

Yes =if(A1="Y", then pick from drop down list otherwise 0.)

Can that be done in excel?

Thanks

Gurdeep

RE: Drop down lists

=if(A1="Y", 0,false)

you would put your combo box in false. this cant be dont without VB coding being written. Nice idea though ;) a nested if function would be your next best thing.
