Dependent Drop-Down: a use case example with Microsoft Lists

Microsoft365 users who track data may at some point need to dynamically display the choices in a drop-down menu based on whether or not one or more requirements are met elsewhere. For instance, Microsoft Excel formulas provide this capability.
