It sounds like your Data Validation is based on a list that includes blank
cells at the bottom. Since the DV cell is already blank, it's matching the
1st blank cell in the source range.

You should either base the list on the actual list items (with no blanks) OR
base the DV on a Dynamic Range Name....which automatically expands and
contracts to accommodate the data.

Debra Dalgleish has Dynamic Range Name instructions at her website:

Am I on the right track?

Try something like this:

From the Excel main menu:

Is that something you can work with?
Does that help?
