    Help with dependent drop down list

    Good afternoon guys, I've spend a few hours following examples online but can't figure this one out.

    Here is what I'm tryin to do. In the data tab I have 2 columns. as you can see option1 has several items that correspond to it in option2. In the dropdown list I want to select Item1 from the first dropdown and then the second dropdown only show the items from Option2 that correspond to item1

    If there are only two drop downs that you are interested in then that can be done using a formula.

    If you have lots of them then you will need a macro.
