    Question Drop Down menu that shows different data depending on what is selected

    hi,

    I'm trying to make a spreadsheet that helps me set up new users computers at work.

    I want to create a couple of drop down lists, 1 that lets me choose if I'm creating a new user, or migrating an exiting user to new computer, and another drop down list that lets me choose if I'm setting up a laptop or desktop.

    For example, once I have chosen new user in the first drop down menu, I want a bunch of data to show up, the data will be a list showing me what I need to do to the computer to set it up, like what software to install, what settings I need to change on the PC etc.
    The data should change depending one what I am setting up, so there will be different software and settings for laptops and desktops.

    if anyone knows how I could do this, or if its even possible, i would love to hear about it

    thanks.
