    The document describes using an IF statement and INDIRECT function to create a dependent dropdown list in Excel. The IF statement checks the selected category and returns the appropriate data range. The INDIRECT function then uses this range reference to populate the dropdown list for items, ensuring it updates dynamically based on the category selection. This allows the items list to change depending on the category chosen from the main list.
