    it is a bit more complicated. here is my table:

    A B C
    5 Category Product Customer Segment
    6 Ticket 2 hours Child
    7 Ticket 2 hours Teenager
    8 Ticket 2 hours Adult
    9 Ticket 2 hours Family Card
    10 Ticket 2 hours Family Card (additional child)
    11 Ticket 3 hours Child
    12 Ticket 3 hours Teenager
    13 Ticket 3 hours Adult
    14 Ticket 3 hours Family Card
    15 Ticket 3 hours Family Card (additional child)
    16 Voucher 2 hours Child
    17 Voucher 2 hours Teenager
    18 Voucher 2 hours Adult
    19 Voucher 2 hours Family Card
    20 Voucher 2 hours Family Card (additional child)
    21 Voucher 3 hours Child
    22 Voucher 3 hours Teenager
    23 Voucher 3 hours Adult
    24 Voucher 3 hours Family Card
    25 Voucher 3 hours Family Card (additional child)
    26 yearly pass 3 hours Child
    27 yearly pass 3 hours Teenager
    28 yearly pass 3 hours Adult


    in the second sheet the data validation looks like this:

    B C D
    12 Category Product Customer Segment
    13
    BUSINESS_DONE

    Worksheet Formulas
    Cell Formula
    B12 =PAR!G6
    C12 =PAR!H6
    D12 =PAR!I6

    B13 has a validation list that let me choose the CATEGORY

    For C13 I would like to have a validation list that lets me select the product depending on the category in B13.
    For D13 I would like to have a validation list that lets me selec the customer segment depending on the category in B13 and on the product in C13.

    Thanks a lot.

    1st Step
    Create the list Category
    Ticket
    Voucher
    Yearly pass

    Select B13
    Data > Data Validation > List
    =Category

    2nd step
    Create the lists Ticket and Voucher
    2 hours
    3 hours

    Select C13
    Data > Data Validation > List
    =INDIRECT(B13)

    Once you have done these 2 steps, later we'll set up the 3rd step, ok?

    Tell me if everything is working fine till now.

    Question:
    Yearly pass has only 3 hours as a possible value?
