'add a data source' to dependent matching field is grayed out

Hi all,
 
I'm new to PP - trying to create a dependent drop down menu.
 
 
Based on the value from field Name in dropdown_15 I want the connected field to display specific value, but 'matching field' is grayed out.
Sourced are excel tables, but they are small, it's not a size issue.
I did go through tutorials on dependent fields. What am I doing wrong? 
 
Thanks!

    Hi
     
    Unfortunately without seeing the Excel files and understanding how you added them, and the Keys you made for the tables in them etc, its hard to say.
