Default Named Ranges Not Working in Data Validation

Sorry Pete this did not work.

Try it with the sheet name in front of the named range, i.e.:

Sheet1!cells_EMPLNO

Hope this helps.

I want to use a named range in the Custom Data Valiadtion dialog.

If the Formula = "=COUNTIF(cells_EMPLNO,A2)<=1" it does not work.

However, if the formula = "=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$28,A2)<=1" it works.

Is there any way to get the Named Range option to work?
