With Excel data validation, you can create drop down lists in worksheet cells. Show the same list all the time, or show a "dependent" drop down  list, based on the value entered  in another cell. This video shows how to set one up, and there are written steps too.

使用Excel数据验证，您可以在工作表单元格中创建下拉列表。 根据在另一个单元格中输入的值，始终显示相同的列表，或始终显示“从属”下拉列表。 该视频显示了如何进行设置，并有书面步骤。

相关下拉列表设置 (Dependent Drop Down List Setup)

There are 3 lists used in this example - Produce Type, Fruit, Vegetable. The lists were typed on a blank worksheet, as shown below.

在此示例中使用了3个列表-生产类型，水果，蔬菜。 列表在空白工作表上键入，如下所示。

This is a simple example, and the main list – Product Type – has 1-word items only.

这是一个简单的示例，并且主列表-产品类型- 仅包含1个单词的项目 。

表和命名范围 (Tables and Named Ranges)

Next, each list is formatted as a named Excel Table.

接下来，将每个列表格式化为一个名为Excel Table的格式。

Then, the  items in each table are set as a named range.

然后，将每个表中的项目设置为命名范围 。

• The main list is named Produce

  主列表命名为Produce

• The other two lists have ranges named to exactly match the items in the Produce list – Fruit and Vegetable.

  其他两个列表的名称范围与“农产品”列表中的“ 水果和蔬菜 ”项目完全匹配。

添加主下拉菜单 (Add the Main Drop Down)

On the data entry sheet, there are columns for Produce Type and Item.

在数据输入表上，有“生产类型”和“项目”列。

A normal drop down list is added to the Produce Type column, based on the Produce named range.

根据“生产”命名范围，将正常下拉列表添加到“生产类型”列。

依赖下拉 (Dependent Drop Down)

Next, a dependent drop down list is added to the Item column. It will show either the Fruit or Vegetable list, based on what is selected in the Produce Type cell in that row.

接下来，从属下拉列表将添加到“项目”列。 根据该行的“生产类型”单元格中选择的内容，它将显示“水果”或“蔬菜”列表。

Instead of a named range as its source, the dependent drop down uses the INDIRECT function in  a formula..

从属下拉列表使用公式中的INDIRECT函数代替其命名范围作为源。

The INDIRECT function will return a reference to the range that is named in the Produce Type cell.

INDIRECT函数将返回对在“生产类型”单元格中命名的范围的引用。

The dependent drop down is created in cell C3, in this example, and here is the formula used in the Data Validation source box:

在此示例中，在单元格C3中创建了从属下拉列表，这是“数据验证”源框中使用的公式：

=INDIRECT(B3)

=间接(B3)

测试相关的下拉列表 (Test the Dependent Drop Down)

After you set up the dependent drop down cells, test them, to make sure things are working correctly.

设置相关的下拉单元格后，对其进行测试，以确保一切正常。

• Select a Produce Type in cell B3在单元格B3中选择一种生产类型
• Click the drop down arrow in cell C3单击单元格C3中的下拉箭头
• The drop down list should show the items for the selected Produce Type下拉列表应显示所选农产品类型的项目

获取样本文件 (Get the Sample File)

Go to my Contextures site, to get the dependent drop down sample file. That page also has detailed written steps for setting up the workbook.

转到我的Contextures网站，以获取相关的下拉样本文件 。 该页面还包含设置工作簿的详细书面步骤。

依赖下拉菜单的其他选项 (Other Options for Dependent Drop Down)

This example shows how to set up a simple set of drop downs, with one-word names used.

本示例说明如何使用一个单词的名称来设置一组简单的下拉列表。

For more complex lists, or main lists with many items, there are other options for setting up dependent drop downs.

对于更复杂的列表或包含许多项目的主列表，还有其他选项可用于设置从属下拉列表 。
