I am having trouble with this dependent drop down. My Wattage sheet is my master table. My ADD sheet is where I want to add the information. I would like to be able to have only the items listed in the other categories be available in my drop down on the ADD sheet. For example, if I choose CFL Fixture then I only want the the three types of subcategories to show.

Even better would be where I could choose the lamp wattage in column E then only those type of fixtures would be available to choose in the Column B, C, and D and vice versa. Is this possible?

I tried making dependent drop downs the traditional way but I would need so many. For instance, for a metal halide fixture only these wattages are available.

Is there an easier solution? Thank you in advance. I apologize if I did not post the pictures correctly.
