    Okay, looks like the title has been changed.

    You'll need to create a second one item long list containing "Apple"
    So, lets say your dropdown list is in G1:G4. In H1, enter Apple.
    Then for your data validation
    List> Source = IF(A4<5, $G$1:$G$4, $H$1)
    Note: Your post doesn't make clear which to choose if A4= 5. I am assuming choose "Apple".
