Cascade Dropdowns help

Set up a dropdown chain

1. Put your options in a table, one column per level (for example Category, Subcategory, Item), with a header row.
2. Open Extensions > Cascade Dropdowns > Set up dropdowns.
3. Pick the source table columns, then the columns that should get the dropdowns.
4. Press Add setup (2 to 5 levels). The first column gets a dropdown right away; each next column shows only the options that match the cell before it.

Common questions

The second dropdown is empty. Pick a value in the first column first. Check that the parent value is spelled the same way in your source table.

I changed my source table. Use Extensions > Cascade Dropdowns > Refresh all dropdowns so the first-level list picks up new options.

A child cell cleared itself. That is on purpose: when a parent value changes, the cells after it clear so they can't hold a value that no longer fits.

How many setups can I make? The free plan allows 3 setups per spreadsheet. Pro removes the limit.

What data does it read? Only the open spreadsheet, and only the ranges in your setups. See the privacy policy.
