    Activate a list of data on selecting a cell value

    Hi
    I have a number of destinations in one column (say A) as a drop down list
    England
    India
    France
    Italy
    Each of this destination has several cities under it
    If I select one destination in the cell A1 through the drop down menu (say India), the next corresponding cell (B1) should be activated with another drop down list from where I can again select the the cities under it
    India Kolkata
    Delhi
    Mumbai
    Chennai
    is that possible? can anybody help

    I attach a Sheet for reference.

    Hi Azam,

    Thanks a lot. it solved the problem. But can you please also give the code? As I want to include more cell range and data I may have to modify the code as well. Did you use VB in macro or it was with excel formula. Thank you again.
