Default Can different drop down lists be displayed depending on the value.

Can different drop down lists be displayed depending on the value of another
reference cell?
for example, if A1 = true, then B1 displays drop down list #1, and if A1 =
FALSE, then B1 displays drop down list#2
Thanks for any tip!!

There are instructions here for dependent data validation lists:

Or, if you only have two choices, you could use an IF formula for the
list, e.g.:

=IF(E3="Yes",List1,List2)
