I want to create a drop-down list (using Data, Validation, selecting
List...) but the drop--down list that opens will be dependant on the
value of another cell.

For example:

In A1 the value "fruit" is entered and the drop-down list in B1 will
list fruit, but if "vegetable" is entered in A1 than a drop-down list
of vegetables will be displayed, if "meat" is entered in A1 then the
drop-down list will display a list of meat etc...

Right now there are 9 different options that could be entered in Column
A - this number may increase in the future. Each of these 9 options has
anywhere from 1 to 7 possibilities.

Any help would be appreciated. thx,
