Default Dependent Dropdown list

I have a dropdown list (let's say no 3.) which is dependent on the selections
of Dropdow list no 1 & 2.

I imagine it would have something to do with multiple if statements but not
very family with VBA.

Thanks in advance.

Default Dependent Dropdown list

Can I use if fields using the information that has been selected in the list
boxes. If so is it as easy as { IF {Listbox2 } ="TEXT" "{ INCLUDETEXT "..."}"}

I would not say that you cannot, but it would not be the best way.
