Default Automatic Drop Down List


1. While on sheet 1, click InsertNameDefine
2. In the "Names in workbook" box, type in a name for your range (ex:
"Locations")
3. In the "Refers To" box, paste in this formula:

=OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A:$A),1)

4. Now on Sheet 2, highlight column B and goto DataValidation:

Allow: List
Source: =Locations

Check the "In-cell dropdown" box if you like.
5. Click OK.

I have a workbook with 4 sheets. *

Sheet 1 Column A allows users to enter a location name

How is this done? *I can't find any code, functions, formulas or anything
indicating how it is accomplished.

Thanks in advance.
