I am currently trying to change cell validations cell range in Google Spreadsheet base upon a cell's input.

For instance, if A1 = 123 then have B1 (which is the data verification cell) pull from C1:C20, but if A1 = 456 then have B1 cell pull criteria from D1:20.

Is this possible?

'Yes', at least after a fashion. For practical purposes it seems 'not yet'.

Create the requirement in Excel (see dependent drop down list eg) and import into New Google spreadsheets. This bypasses the failure to accept something like INDIRECT("range"&A1") as the Criteria: for a List from a range and does not show which entries are valid when the drop-down arrow in the cell is clicked (just Loading...) but does warn of/reject unacceptable values and accept valid ones.
