Gekkouga I think you can do this without named ranges. The validation formula could look like this:

where "references" is the array with applicable cell references for the sublists, "selection" is the list for which the sublist should be in the dropdown and "list" is the array with all the lists.
I didn't go though the trouble of replicating your schedule, but I did make a small example that demonstrates the principle. Perhaps it helps you to implement it in your own sheet.
