Default Delimited Lists for Data Validation

I am inputing the following formula in the source box for data validation:
=IF(COUNTIF(DetailAccts,C16),DetailList,IF(COUNTIF (NoDetailAccts,C16),NoDetailList,IF(COUNTIF(BSAcct s,C16),BSList).
I am inputing this formula in cell D16 and what I am basically trying to
make happen is if the account entered in cell C16 is located in a list I have
call "DetailAccts", then cell D16 is populated with a dropdown with a list I
have titled "DetailList". Or if the account entered in cell C16 is found in
a list I have named "NoDetailAccts" you get a dropdown list of
"NoDetailList". Or if the C16 account entered is found in "BSAccts" you get
a dropdown list named "BSList". I have tried this formula and I get the
error message saying I must use a delimited list using a single reference.
Does anyone know how I can modify my formula to achieve what I want?
