Hi I need list of drop down menu that will contain categories of different lists. for example
Fruit
Banana
Apple
Pear
Vegetable
Potato
Peas
I need this sort of drop down list, but they cannot select fruit or Vegetable, but they can select Banana , apple, pear , potato or peas.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
thanks but I do not need depended lists. I need just one drop down list..
for example drop down list show following options..
Fruit
Banana
Apple
Pear
Vegetable
Potato
Peas
People may select each option except Fruit and Vegetable.
I have hundred of names in drop down list. I want to categories that list to different list in one drop down (as above fruit and vegetable); so that it'll be easier for people to find through drop down.
I have tried to explain more. May be I have confused more.

It sounds to me as though you would be better off using two dropdowns and using dependent lists. If the items are included in a combo, you will be able to select them.
