Hi folks. I have created a dynamic dropdown list that allows me to choose i.e. movie or music titles based on if movies or music was selected in a dropdown in the previous column. Is it possible to reference that same music/movies column for another list that could possibly allow me to choose from a list of genres for movies/music?
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
That would need what is known as a dependent list. This link contains the best guide to setting them up that I have seen so far.

I just realized this is a bad example because I could just create a list that referenced Music/Movies for Genres and then have Titles refer to Genres column. But in my case I'd like to have both genres and titles reference the column where you select music or movies.
