Data Validation using multiple columns
In a Data Validation dropdown, I need to display more than one column of
data, but only "store" the value from the first column? For example:
Column A = ID Number (4 characters long)
Column B = Last Name
Column C = First Name
Column D = Column A & & Column B & & Column C
Column E = Data Validation where Source = $D1:$D20
When a user clicks on the Data Validation dropdown arrow, the dropdown would
display the ID Number, Last Name, and First Name. But once a person is
selected, only the ID Number would be "stored" in the cell.
excelent was kind enough to provide me with the following macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("E6:E20")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Target = Left(Target, 4)
End Sub
Unfortunately, after I select a name from the dropdown list, the list stays
open and Excel appears to lock up until I press the Esc key. Then I get a
"Code execution has been interrupted" error message.
Can anyone tell me how to modify the macro above so that it works properly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bob
