Hi I have a main category table as a drop down and sub category which is also a drop down showing all the values from sub category table but i need to list only values based on the category selection. If i select born baby,it has 2 sub category,it should display 2 values in drop down. ![667](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/d/1dd587fd0c0c9252ddccaa04e597c86be44343c0.png) ![668](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/b/9b2412604989cc32010bfd5d71068e60623cfdec.png) ![669](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/4/a4a795c54ae67e64f957586a257008786b846a0b.png) ![770.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/a/aab2ca8b8accee7f910b829834b1f7d0375d7175.jpeg) ---

Filter your Sub-Category selector using Screen Values > **[Glide Docs • Screen Values](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/values/screen-values)** > > Values that you can access from the current screen. ---

On your Sub Category choice component, use the following: “Category is Screen → Category” ---

Wait… which table is the source of your Choice Components? Is it this one? 👇 ![Screen Shot 2022-11-21 at 6.56.26 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/e/9e84198c72f739a07dfed0a536f181cb7f914e9b.png) Or is it this one? 👇 ![Screen Shot 2022-11-21 at 6.56.37 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/a/4abaa696720b805f623c204b76931782663b022c.png) From what you are describing, it sounds like it’s the first one. It _should_ be the second one. The first one - with all the User Specific Columns - is where the choice selections should be written to. That table probably only needs a single row. It looks to me like you have all your data jumbled up. ---
