Using the instructions on Contextures.com about Data Validation & Dependant
Lists, I have created a form that contains the following columns with drop
down options:

(in columns A - B - C)
Category - Parameters - Methods

Category is the parent list and the lists for Parameters and for Methods are
dependant on Category. *In the cells for Parameters, I have used the
Validation function =INDIRECT(A2). *So depending on what I choose under
category, the corresponding list shows up as options in the Parameters
column. *Perfect! *Now, the problem is that I don't know how to associate the
my list for methods with the same category. *For example:

My drop down options under Category (column A) a
Shoes
Shirts
Pants

If Shoes are chosen for the category, the Parameters options (col. B) would
be:
Pumps
Loafers
Boots

If Shoes are chosen as the Category, the Method options (col. C) would be:
Lace Up
High Heel
Low Heel
Flats

I can't figure out how to associate column C with the list in Column A and
have it show the right data (as opposed to showing the same options in Col.
B). *Any help would be greatly appreciated!
