Making pick list conditional on selection from previous pick list
 
I would like to know how to make a pick list (a "list" of names) conditional
on what was picked in the previous column pick list (e.g. of the 4 main areas
of a plant (pick list/ column A), there are anywhere from 3 to 5 sections
within each main area. I would like to format/program the second pick list
(coumn B) to only show the list of sections corresponding to the 'main area'
selected in column A. Then I need to do this for a third pick list (specific
equipment). If you have an example, it would be appreciated.
Thank you.
