I want to be able to have a drop down list of 10 different items as a drop down pick list if the cell next to it says "Go Forward". However, if the cell next to it says, "No Go Forward" I want the drop down list next to the cell not show those 10 different items. I'm struggling to find a way to combine IF statements and Data validation lists. Any ideas how to go about it? Thanks!

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)
