Dependent Dropdowns in ALV Grid (OOPs ALV)

I am new to ABAP and currently working on an ALV Grid using Object-Oriented ALV (OOPs ALV) in SAP ABAP. I have two columns in my ALV, both of which are dropdowns:

  1. Data Type: This column has dropdown options - "Number" and "Text".
  2. Conversion: This column's dropdown options should depend on the selection in the "Data Type" column.

Here's the behavior I need:

  • If "Number" is selected in the "Data Type" column, the "Conversion" column should show dropdown options like "Sum" and "Division".
  • If "Text" is selected in the "Data Type" column, the "Conversion" column should show dropdown options like "Upper" and "Lower".

How can I implement this dynamic dropdown behavior in an ALV Grid using the OOPs approach? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Implement an event handler for the on_f4 event, open a f4-help and change cell content from inside via: 

lo_alv->change_data_from_inside( it_cells = lt_cell ).
