    Functions for Drop Down menus

    Hello

    I am wondering if the following is possible and if it is, if you can help point me in the right direction:

    I want to have a spread sheet where a user will pick an option from a drop down list, then based on that option choice, have a different cell populate with a specifc drop down menu.

    Example:

    Cell A1 has a drop down with three choices (1,2,3)
    User selects option 1
    Cell B1 will now have a drop down with options A,B,C
    However:
    If user selects option 2 from A1
    Cell B1 will now have a drop down menu with options X,Y,Z

    Is this possible? What is the type of function / formula called to make this happen?

    Thanks!

    What you're after is known as Dependent Data Validation Lists. The following site walks through how to setup such a system, and once you get used to it it can be very useful.
