This video shows another side of the INDEX function. It uses INDEX to create dynamic lists based on criteria. It also uses the second argument or way of writing of the INDEX function which uses references as well as area numbers.

The INDEX function is then used to create dynamic drop down lists that change based on selected criteria. Name manger is used to keep the formula required for the data validation list. The given name is then directly used inside the data validation.
