    <p>You can definitely do this without VBA. If you haven't added the developer tab to Excel, go ahead and do that now. <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb608625.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb608625.aspx</a></p> <p>For each list, you'll want to create a named range. So make one for "name" and then one each for everyone's favorite foods. Ex: AJ_Likes, RJ_Likes.</p> <p>Next, you'll want to insert a Combo Box (Active X Control). Right click on the box and select Properties. Under "ListFillRange," type the "name" range. This will fill your first box with the names of your family members. Then you want to link the list to a cell, so each selection will populate the cell with that value. You can place the dropdown directly over the linked cell so it won't appear (for aesthetics).</p> <p>"LinkedCell" is also in the properties box for the combo box. Then, you want to create a second combo box. This box will have a fillrange that = a new dynamic range you will create. The dynamic range will change depending on the selection of the first box. </p> <p>In the dynamic range, use a conditional formula such as this:<br> =IF($F$3="aj", INDEX(aj_likes,1), IF($F$3="rj", INDEX(rj_likes, 1), ""))</p> <p>It basically says that if F3 = AJ, select first row from the AJ_Likes range, else, if it's = to RJ, select first row from the RJ_Likes range. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/mo7Em.jpg" alt="enter image description here"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pCA9U.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I can't seem to make my images appear, so here are some links to the screenshots I created. Hope this helps - glad to offer additional assistance.</p> <p><a href="http://hostmypicture.com/images/1ici.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://hostmypicture.com/images/1ici.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://hostmypicture.com/images/2aga.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://hostmypicture.com/images/2aga.jpg</a></p> <p>Sorry - noticing you specifically asked for Data Validation. Same steps as above, however instead of adding the second Combo Box, just add data validation, LIST as the option, and select the dynamic list as your range. </p> <p><a href="http://hostmypicture.com/images/3olo.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://hostmypicture.com/images/3olo.jpg</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
