    If x is selected only e column to be active.
    If Y is selected only b & C column to be active.
    If z is selected only B & E column to be active.

    If its not possible, is it possible to highlight the columns as examples given below.

    If y selected in the A2 column, the b2 and c2 cells will be highlight with same colour.

    The main thing i requested above is to updated the mandatory fields when they select the appropriate data in A column.

    please let us know if you need further information. Thanks.
