Dropdown menus dependent on another cell being <8.0 or >8.0

Hello -
I've created a timesheet for my employees in Excel. I'd like there to be one particular dropdown menu that shows if the total hours for a day are less than 8.0, and another dropdown to show if the hours are more than 8.0. I know how to do dependent lists, but not how to make a list dependent on a numerical value . . .
Thanks!
Caitlin

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
You did not say what happens to 8, so I assume it goes with Less than 8

Same trick as dependent dropdown, but use an extra column to convert values to text

Formula in C2 copied down
=IF(A2<=8,"Less","More")

Create 2 named ranges ("Less" and "More")
Less (range: F2:F4)
More (range: G2:G4)

Create dropdown in D2 (and copy down)
Allow: List
Source: =INDIRECT(B2)
