Default Data Validation; List

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me here.

Is there a way I can make a Data Validation on one cell but changing the
allowable data depending on another cell? Like when you choose a state in one
cell and then the next cell's allowable data is narrowd down to the cities
available on that state? I wan't to do something similar with Store
Departments and the Sellers in each department.

Thanks to everyone in advance...

Cheers, Juan

Does that help?
