VBA: How to create a dynamic drop-down list in Excel that updates based on another cell's value?
I'm converting an old project and I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm reviewing some code and I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. I'm trying to create a dynamic drop-down list in Excel using VBA that updates its options based on the value of another cell... For example, if cell A1 contains 'Fruits', the drop-down in cell B1 should show 'Apple', 'Orange', 'Banana'. If A1 contains 'Vegetables', then B1 should update to show 'Carrot', 'Broccoli', 'Spinach'. I've tried using the following code, but it doesn't seem to work as expected: ```vba Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim rng As Range Dim dropDown As Range Set rng = Me.Range("A1") ' Cell that controls the drop-down Set dropDown = Me.Range("B1") ' Cell with the drop-down If Not Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then Select Case rng.Value Case "Fruits" dropDown.Validation.Delete dropDown.Validation.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:="Apple,Orange,Banana" Case "Vegetables" dropDown.Validation.Delete dropDown.Validation.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:="Carrot,Broccoli,Spinach" Case Else dropDown.Validation.Delete End Select End If End Sub ``` When I change the value in A1, the drop-down in B1 doesn’t update, and I get an behavior about the validation not being set. I've also tried placing the code in the worksheet's code module and ensured macros are enabled, but the question continues. Is there something I'm missing, or any best practices I should follow for this functionality? Any help would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is Windows 11. I appreciate any insights! This is for a CLI tool running on CentOS. Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking? For context: I'm using Vba on CentOS. Thanks, I really appreciate it!
