hi,

Do you these two ranges to appear in a dropdown list? If so, make a
dummy column where you will not do anything except for combining these
two ranges.

=concatnate(A1&" "&B1)

copy down

name this range and use it at the dropdown list.


I hope this will work fine with you and wish someone could give you a
better idea.


Thanks

Shail

are not there anyone willing to answer ? let me rephrase my questions . I
have two named ranges lets say data1 & data2, How they can be forced to act
like one combined data ?

it is an ultimate solution , but I wonder if there is a simple way of doing
this in excel ?

Can you use a database, like Access, to manage your data? Then you can have
it all in one data table and run calculations off that continguous set of
data.

I have data , that can not be stored in only one worksheet , so I must divide
this data into smaller parts, but is it somehow possible to define a dynamic
range with offset function , that contains whole data ?

I am asking this because I use this data in some calculations with dsum
functions , and calculations will be slower if I write each formula with
something like that ?
=DSUM(data1,Amount,criteria)+DSUM(data2,Amount,cri teria)
where data1 and data2 are dynamic ranges produced by offset function in two
seperate worksheets.

thanks for replies
