  1. Choose a cell to create the dropdownlist and set the data validation. Here, we have selected the B8 Cell and applied data validation with list values which refers to a NamedRange (Food).
  2. Select a next cell to apply data validation which depends on the previous data validation list. Here, we have selected the cell “B10” and applied data validation with list type and assigned the list source as “=INDIRECT($B1)”. (INDIRECT function is used to return the reference, specified by the string from the drop down list).
