Default Validation List

You need to either name your ranges and use those names, or just use the
range references (A1:A10 for example).

How do I specify that a list is part of "List 1" or "List 2"?
I go to Data, then Validation, then select List. Then I enter the formula
you gave me. But it tells me that "A named range you specified cannot be
found"

Also, What if I want the List 1 to display when A$1$ equals 2418 or 2419

or
2410 etc.

Use DataValidation, type of List, with a formula of

I want to use a listbox for a cell. But I want to have 2 different

lists
to
choose form based on what a certain cell is. EXAMPLE in cell A2 I want

to
have a list box. Now if A1 shows "2418" then I want A2 to have a list

showing
different options. And if A1 shows "2499" then I want A2 to have a

list
with
different options. Is this possibe? if so, how do I do it.
Thanks in advace
