    Return selected dropdown values based on previous dropdown

    I've got a dropdown selection of Cameras (Canon 5D, Canon 6D, Ursa Mini etc.) and I have a single list of possible frame sizes (1280x720, 1920x1080, etc.) and also a single list of possible frame rates (23.97, 24, 25 etc.). What I'm trying to figure out is if there is a way to make it so that when I select (for example) Canon 6D the "frame size" and "frame rate" dropdowns only include values which that camera supports (e.g. 6D does not support anything above 1920x1080 @30fps, but the Canon 5D supports 4k at 60fps)

    I've seen how to create dependent dropdowns but all of them have used separated lists, which would mean (as I understood it) that I'd have to create a separate frame size and frame rate list for each camera. It's fine if that's the way I have to go but I'd rather cut down on the number of lists (the way I want to go seems more "elegant").

    VBA is okay, but I'd prefer a method without (if such exists) as I'm going to be importing it to Google Sheets and I've had limited success with VBA moving from Excel to Google. :p

    So, is this even possible?

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: Return selected dropdown values based on previous dropdown

    Are "Frame Size" and "Frame Rate" both DIRECTLY dependent on "Camera Model" ?
    OR
    Is "Frame Rate" dependent on"Frame Size" and "Frame Size" dependent on "Camera Model" ?

    Illustration of my question - If Canon model EOS-1DC has this spec....

    What do you want?

    ONE result for "Frame Size" (and therefore one result for "Frame Rate")
    = box3 and box 4 in image

    OR
    user selects "Frame Size" = 4096 x 2160 \ 1920 x 1080 \ 1280 x 720 \ 640 x 480
    Result = 24 or 60, 50, 30, 25, 24 or 60, 50 or 60, 50
