Hi guys, I a new to the board and have challenge which I am looking to solve and hoping you may be able to help. I am working with a reasonably large database sheet. The database sheet has 1000+ records and each record has corresponding fields. I would normally use dependent lists for something like this, however the data set is large and not static.
Currently I have a list which pulls from the range of record names selected and populates a cell. Lets use "D4". I would like to have the value selected in D4 trigger a list box in E4 which populates based on the fields assigned to record selected in the Database sheet.

For example: I select "Cars" as my record (D4) and I would like the list in column "E4" to populate with all the fields in the database sheet for cars:, Audi, BMW, Chevy....etc..

I am trying to automate this as the data in the database sheet may change and be re-imported over time however I need the drop down lists to maintain their functionality.

Any help or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
