help with Excel

I am not very good with Excel and this may have been discussed in another forum. I have an excel sheet with with information.  I want to fill in other cells in a cascade effect. Ex. under Inspector cell when I pick (Mike) I want the Utility Company cell to assign certain companies to mike filtering out the rest so in the next drop down I can pick one of the remaining companies. And once picked I would like another cell to populate contractor, then foreman and their cell phone number. if this isnt possible please let me know.

    Perhaps the attached example spreadsheet, with an illustration of what I call "Cascading Data Validation" could help you. It does presume a bit of knowledge, or at the very least a willingness to experiment and learn through trial and error.
