Can you link to a drop down list from another drop down list?

I've got a worksheet with some drop down boxes. I would like for the chosen
option to spawn other drop down boxes elsewhere in the worksheet.
For example, if I have a box with:
- Red
- Green
- Blue
then someone chooses Green, I would like for another specific cell to
display another drop down box with:
- Tree
- Frog
- Car
If they choose Red, then 3 other choices should appear in the "treefrogcar"
cell...
I hope this makes sense. I don't know how to do this.
Thanks,

Hello Denise.
You need to make the choice for each colour a named range.
For instance would put the following anywhere in your workbook:
ManU Tree Chelsea
Ferrari Frog Sky
Apple Car Water
Then give each group a name, red, green and blue.
If the first drop-down is in A1, then the second data-validation would
be: =indirect(a1)
Fortunately it is easier to do than to explain.
Please let me know and I will send you a sample workbook.
