Yes, in the source box you should type in the name of the list like this

=MyName

I should have remembered to add that you need an equal sign, sorry about
that

Hi
I have a master sheet that has names of employees.
I have a 2nd sheet where my calculations are done based on employee
performance.
Is it possbile that on the column "Name of Employee" the information
from
the master sheet can be made available as a drop down.
Or please advise, what other options I can have.
