Default Data Validation with multiple table selection

Hi,

I'm trying to have a dropdown list look at another dropdown list & reference
a particular named range based on the 1st dropdown's current selection. The
actual amount of selections in dropdown 1 is 3, with 3 different named ranges
to reference.

I thought I could get away with the multiple options by using a series of
CONCATENATE/IF statements, but it seems like I'm doing something wrong. If
possible, I'd like to use this style, as I believe it will be useful for
future dropdown lists I'll want to add later in my workbook. Here is the
formula Iam trying to enter into Data Validation/Source:

=CONCATENATE(IF(F4="Analog
Path",MAIN_UDP_Selection_Path_Analog,""),IF(F4="Di gital
Path",MAIN_UDP_Selection_Path_Digital,""),IF(F4="P assthrough
Path",MAIN_UDP_Selection_Path_Passthrough,""))

It tells me I must reference a delimited list, or a single column or row
when I try to put this formula in. All 3 named ranges are in the same column,
but 2 of these ranges overlap slightly. I can list any of these named ranges
as the source (i.e. =MAIN_UDP_Selection_Path_Analog) with no problems, but my
formula doesnt seem to output a named range, or maybe its something else I'm
missing. Any help would be appreciated.

Steve
