I had been following an online tutorial, and had elements of t dependent drop down built, but broke it and cannot fix it. Would love some advice, tutorials to look at, or a review of my App Script code and sheet.

Goal, to have 6 sheets, pull from the same matrix of dependencies, and use the scenario multiple times on each sheet.

Thank you.

/John
PS—Can share a link to the sheet.

Are you looking for help with dependent drop downs on a spreadsheet or using a webapp?

Here are 2 good videos on dependent dropdowns on a sheet:

And here is one (of a series) for a webapp:

It was these exact videos I watched—and his later revision to them—for me to write the script. But, I have made an error somewhere, and I am having difficulty tracking it down in my web apps script. 

I'll follow the last one to see if it helps where I went wrong.

Hi John,

 

It is difficult to tell you how to fix this without seeing what you are trying to do. If you can make a sample sheet (without any personal info) and share it with us we can take a look and let you know.

Thanks, Chris, and sorry for the delay getting back to you.

Here’s the sheet.

On Sheet NE, I wanted A10 to reveal a subset located on B10
Sheet R-SR has the relationships.

Thank you for your insight.
