Drop Down List Based on Previous Column's Drop Down List Selection - Categories/Sub-Categories

Any help is appreciated on the following.  Thanks!

 

I'm setting up a sheet with columns to categorize/sub-categorize data.

I'd like a Category Column which has a Drop-Down List and a Sub-Category Column with a Drop-Down List based on the selected "Category" from the previous Drop-Down List.

 

Basically, if my lists look as follows below (Category List/Sub-Category List), how do I display the Sub-Category Drop-Down List for the corresponding Category (only) without having to include *all* Sub-Categories to choose from?

 

  • If "Category Column" Drop-Down Selection = Policy, then
    • "Sub-Category Column" Drop-Down Selection = only the option of....
      • "Personnel, Product, Refund/Cancellation, Safety, Security, Payroll, Attendance"

 

Categories Drop-Down List:

  • Promotions Category
    • Sub-Categories for Promotions Category:
      • Corporate
      • Membership Based
      • Customer Type
      • Sale
  • Policy Category
    • Sub-Categories for Policy Category:
      • Personnel
      • Product
      • Refund/Cancellation
      • Safety
      • Security
      • Payroll
      • Attendance
  • System Category
    • Sub-Cateogories for System Category:
      • Update
      • Enhancement
      • Replacement
      • Alert
  • Process Category
    • Sub-Categories for Process Category:
      • Call Handling
      • Product Sales
      • Requests
      • Complaints
      • Issuing Compensation
