Drop Down Boxes or Macros?

Guest

Hello,
I needed some help with the following:

I have a drop down box of departments (finance, accounting, etc.) Basically,
I would like it so that a user picks the department, then he fills out some
of the expenses. Then he can choose another department with the same dorp
down box and fill out that department's expenses. However, the catch is I
would like the information that was input for the first department selected
to remain. Are there any ideas?

I would use dropdown boxes (Data>Validation) in separate cells. If you
create a list of the departments, you can point both DVs to that list.

I don't think that will work: To illustrate:

Drop - Down Box - Finance, Accouting, etc. (5 others)

Expenses:
Relocation, Recruiting, etc. (list has 30 items)
Now, I am forecasting so they will put these expenses for 12 months for each
expense for each department. Therefore, if I create multiple drop down lists,
I still have the same problem, because it is the same expense types for each,
however, the amounts will all vary depending on department. I can not create
multiple lists because it is too much stuff. Any ideas on how I can do this?
Thanks.
