Default Change drop down list in one cell based on values in other cells

Hi, Can someone pls help. I want to update value in a drop down list based on
selection in preceeding drop down list e.g. there is a list of 10 business
units & within each business units there 15 to 20 sub business units. So if
business unit 'BU1' is selected in drop drop list in say cell A1 then on cell
A2 the drop down list should be populated with the corresponding sub-business
units of 'BU1'. Similarily if 'BU2' is selected in drop down list on cell A1
then on cell A2 the drop down list of corresponding sub-business units of
'BU2'. Hope it makes sense.
Cheers,
Hemi
