Validated Drop Down List

Hi all
This is my first post - I really wish I had found this forum years ago!
I am trying to create an income/expenditure spreadsheet for my sporting club.
What I would like is to have a cell titled "Category" and the next one titled "Sub Category"
In the "Category" cell, there would be a drop down box with a list of categories, and when one is selected, the "Sub Category" cell would display only the sub categories of the specified category.
I have tried to do this with the two links below without much luck - either the sub category cell works correctly for the first row, then after that it is stuck with the category from row 1 or, in the horizontal array example, I only see the first column of the sub category.
I have attached an example spreadsheet
Thanks in advance
Adam

Thank you both for your quick response and warm welcome!
After some fiddling around trying to determine how to change how many rows the formula was looking for, it now works wonderfully
Thanks again!
