Enter the formula in the little box to the right of where it says: Refers
to.

That box looks too small but it'll fit!

Tip: write the formula in a worksheet cell then just copy it and paste it
into that little box.

=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
