a picklist for a field
I have a sheet that has a table of data. In a column,
D40:d53, are categories that I want the user to be able to select from on another sheet, in column A. For every row in column A, I want a dropdown to display the categories listed in the D40:d53 list. I do not know what to call this so am having a hard time finding help. TIA for any help I can get.

Okay, I figured that out. Now for the next column, I
want to have another picklist in column B that has options that are dependent on what was selected in column A. I know that there must be a way to do a lookup or something. -----Original Message----- I have a sheet that has a table of data.
