In sheet 2, I would like to have the same columns but in a drop down.

In sheet 2, data in Platform column should display in a drop down but only distinct data should appear. In sheet 2, after selecting the platform, the component column should display the component data only applicable to the data what we selected.

For example, in sheet 2 (platform column) dropdown, if i choose customer, then the component column should display only the data applicable to "Customer" platform.

Please help me out in this.
