Default Manual Selection 1 or the other

Is there a facility within Excel for making an external user answer a
question based on a critera he/she provided in a previous cell, and then
respond based on the answer?

Possibly using Data Validation ..see

but if you give an example of your rquirement, there are might be other
alternatives.

That solves the question part of it:D

Based on the second drop down (result of the indirect validation)

Is there a way to alter existing data based on the answer??

IS

A B
1 Drop1 Drop2
2
3 52 27

I want to add 1 to either A3 or B3 Based on weather the drop2 is responce1
or responce2....
I also would like the 1 to be taken away if the drop2 is then changed or
cleared

Thanks for the help so far Toppers
