Default empty cells in the drop down list

Use a dynamic range formula...

Create the named range...
Formulas tabDefined NamesName ManagerNew
Name: Servers
Refers to:

=Sheet1!$A$2:INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$11,COUNTA(Sheet1 !$A$2:$A$11))

Use the appropriate sheet name.

OKClose

Then, as the source for the drop down use =Servers

Hi

I'm working with Excel 2007

I have a list of 5 items from A2:A6.
I highlighted A2:A11 and named it in the Name Box as "Servers" (I need the
empty cells for future items)
In F1 created drop down list and its data validation is "=servers"
When I pressing on the drop down box, the 5 items appear but also appears
the space of the 5 empty cells (A7:A11)
How can I eliminating the empty cell to be appear in the dropdown box? I
don't want every time that I'm adding new items, to modify the Name Box

Thanx
