Hello everyone,

I know this is possible but do not know how to make it.

I have two options in a Cell as Applicable and Not Applicable.   This
is in a Drop-down menu and what I want is that when I choose
Applicable,  it should bring up additional 5 or 6 cells for me to
complete.   And if I choose Not Applicable, the additional cells should
not show up.   The default would be Not Applicable.

Can somebody help please.   Thanks in adance.

Is your drop-down generated by Data>Validation>List ?
Or is it a combobox?

I think this is a feasible solution.

Your drop down should ideally be Data Validation on cells.
Then you use conditional formatting to make the additional 3 cell
appear when "Applicable" is selected and stay greyed out (defau
format) when "Not Applicable" is selected

Yes. My drop-down menu is generated by Data>Validation>List.

Thank
