Hi Rhonda,

You could always try 'Named' ranges. Ie, in rows a1:a3 Spidey, Uncle Bob,
Hulk , go to insert-name-define, and name it myheroes
in the cell that you wish to have a drop down, data validation, and ilo a
cell range, type in myheroes.

If I create a validation list in one cell, how do I copy the same exact
validation list to another cell without losing one of the items on the
drop-down list? When I try to copy it deletes one item automatically.

Thanks in advance!
