How many dependent Picklists are there in Salesforce?

How does dependent picklist work in Salesforce?
A dependent picklist filters values for one picklist based on a selection from another picklist or a checkbox (the controlling value) on the same record. Say your bakery has a hundred different kinds of cookies, and you want to guide customers with gluten or nut allergies to cookies that don’t have gluten or nuts.
Can a custom picklist be converted to a multi select picklist?
See Picklist Limitations for more information. You can convert a custom picklist to a multi-select picklist to support multiple values in the field, later. However, when you convert a multi-select picklist to a picklist field that doesn’t support multi-select, Salesforce clears the values for that field on existing records.
How to create a custom picklist in Salesforce?
When you create a custom picklist, notice the Picklist (Multi-Select) option, too. Pick this option if you want your users to select more than one value from the picklist. When a user picks more than one value, the selected values show in the field, separated by a semicolon.
How does a dependent picklist improve data integrity?
Guide users, save UI space, and further improve data integrity with a dependent picklist. A dependent picklist filters values for one picklist based on a selection from another picklist or a checkbox (the controlling value) on the same record.
