The best way to describe what I need is to just give an example...

I have a group of people using the same spreadsheet Column A currently has a drop down with the following values 'not selected' 'cat', 'dog', 'bird'. I need to change this so that, if column B has a value of 'color' I want the drop down in column A to have the following values; 'not selected', 'cat'. If column B displays any other value, I want column A drop down to have the following values' 'not selected'; 'dog', 'bird'.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
I'd suggest taking a look here for Dependent Drop-Down Lists:
This MAY be what I need but I'm not certain. In my example, column B is not a drop down. Will the link you provided work in this situation? Thanks so much for your help,

I'm posting my spreadsheet. If you click in column B you will see a drop down with 3 values. If column F says 'in person or hybrid', I want the drop down in column B to have choices of 'not selected', 'in person paper' or 'in person online'. If column F says 'online', I want the drop down in column B to have choices of 'not selected' or 'online'
