    Unhappy Data Validation Depending on Another Cell

    Given the below scenario :-

    Cell A1 contains Data Validation of List (ie. Taxi / Bus, Car, Motorcycle)
    Cell A2 to contain Data Validation to check A1 is Taxi / Bus, otherwise, no data entry is allowed.

    How can I set the data validation using 'IF' function. Please help

    For data validation in cell A2, use the settings:

    Allow: Custom
    Formula: =OR(A1="Taxi",A1="Bus")

    [ ] Ignore blank (uncheck this)
