quickly thinking there are probably several ways to do this. For example you can place more than 2 choice components and use visibility conditions depending on what your 1st choice is, the rest will be hidden and only 1 will appear.
I would assume there would be another way to do this by creating a relation based on the first choice value and then using that to get reach the correct 2nd choice components… but would have to try that out before i explain it in simple terms to avoid confusing things.

Also, you can filter choice components, so you should be able to filter the second depending on the screen value of the first choice.

The choice component has a filter setting.

I would have to filter the 2nd choice component after the first value is entered in the sheet right? as in this logic will work only after the submit button is clicked? then with that data, I can move on with the 2nd choice

No. As Jeff said, you can filter using [Screen Values](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/values/screen-values).
