I want to achieve the following. If "Y" is selected in B3, then the drop down validation in B5 will become the list under Y. If "N" is selected in B3, then the drop down validation or only selection will be "N/A" in B5

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Here is one way . I know there is a way just using the defined name manager, but I could not get it to work:
