I am filling out a list of capabilities that have sub-capabilities.
A2 is the Capabilty Name
A3 is the Sub-Capability name
B2 is drop down list (data validation ) with selections of "Yes", "No", or "N/A"
In B3 I am trying to create an IF Statement where if B2="YES" then I am presented with a drop down list (Yes, No, or N/A)to select from for B3 or if it is not Yes then leave the cell blank.

[TABLE="width: 248"]

I would think the IF statement would look something like this but I am not sure what the syntax is to have it present a drop down list:
=IF( A2="Yes", drop down list,IF(A2="No", "", IF(A2="N/A", "","")))
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
