Default Drop Down with dynamic named range offsheet source list

Hi Garry,

Not true! My Invoicing: Simple Bookkeeping app uses dynamic ranges on a
hidden sheet for its ChartOfAccounts used by the dependant DVs on its
'Income' and 'Expenses' sheets, as well as its 'Summary' (profit/loss)
sheet. This was deliberate so any changes in the COA at runtime would
automatically reflect in the DVs. Ref to the ranges includes the hidden
sheet's name.


I never get a depending DV with INDIRECT to work, if the range is
defined by OFFSET formula.

From: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html:

<Using Dynamic Lists

Because the INDIRECT function only works with references, not formulas,
the previous method for dependent data validation won't work with
dynamic lists.<
