Default Place source to drop down list in another spreadsheet

And If I link to a source list in another spreadsheet, I get an error.

If you use a named range/list, you can get it to work ..

Eg, in:

DV Settings tab
----------
Allow List
Source: =MyList

where MyList is a named range
refering to the DV items in say, Sheet2

What do I do when I wan't to use validation from a list, but I do not want
the list to be visible on the spreadsheet?

If I hide the rows containing the list, the hidden values also becomes
hidden in the list.
