Data Validation (Multiple Choice)

[Guest]

I am working on a spreadsheet that will contain data that will be loaded into
a database. As we will need to validate the information being entered, I am
planning on using the “Data, Validation†fields to load valid values.
However I’m stumped. Based on the country selected from my country list, I
want to display one of two state lists (valid values). If USA is selected as
country I want to display the US state list. If Canada is selected, I want
to display the Canadian Province list. If any other country is selected I
want to allow the user to type any value.

Any suggestions

Sounds like you want dependent lists.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for instructions.
