    Variable Data Validation

    I'm trying to add data validation to a cell that is dependent upon a different cell that already contains data validation. For example:

    Cell A1 contains a data validation list with two options - Red or Blue

    I would like to add to cell A2 a data validation list that contains Blue and Green if Cell A1 is set to Red and Red and Green if cell A1 is set to Blue.

    Basically put an "if" statement inside of the data validation list option box.

    Thank you for your help
