Thanks for the link but unless I'm missing something, it explains how to do
what I already learned from Contextures.com. Or maybe I didn't explain
myself clearly. I already have the dropdown options in column B dependant on
the selection in column A. What I now need is to have the dropdown options
in column C (which are different than Col. B) dependant on the selection in
column A also.

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!
