Advanced Data Validation - Switching Between Lists: Cell With Validation Shortlist Full List

This document discusses using data validation in Excel to switch between lists based on the selection in a previous cell. It provides an example where selecting the "Area" in cell B7 dynamically updates the list of "Projects" shown in cell D6. The validation formula references the area cell to determine which project list to display. This allows filtering a secondary list based on the value chosen in a primary list.
