Dive into the world of Excel with our guide to creating dynamic and smart dependent dropdown lists! This tutorial covers two common challenges: automatically expanding lists with new data and making sure your lists don't contain empty fields. Suitable for both beginners and advanced users, this video offers two methods: using the OFFSET formula and table references.

What you will learn:
️ The basics of creating main and dependent dropdown lists in Excel.
️ Using the OFFSET formula for dynamic list adjustments.
️ Implementation of table references for efficient data management.
️ Techniques to ensure your lists are automatically updated with new entries.
️ Solved the problem of different list lengths in dependent dropdown menus.

Create dynamic dropdown lists in Excel – 1. They expand as new data is added to the list, 2. They depend on another list, and 3. They exclude empty cells at the end of each list. Basically, they are limited to only those cells that contain values.

In this video you will learn how to get fully dynamic, dependent dropdown lists using the OFFSET function.
You will then see another version that uses INDEX & MATCH and Excel tables. We will paste the formula we create in the Name Manager and then use the new name in our custom formula field for data validation.
