I am using a drop-down list for data validation in a column. Can I make the
drop-down list in another column dependent on the contents of the first
column?

Example:

Col A has a list defined:

Fruit
Vegetable

If the user selects fruit, then in Column B the list is:

Apple
pear

If the user selects Vegetable, then the column B list is:

Peas
Carrots

thanks
John
