Default How do i create a drop down list from information on another works

Hi all,

Anyone has any idea on how to create a drop down list in worksheet a if the
selections for the list are found in worksheet b?

In the excel help it says, "If the list is on a different worksheet, enter
the name that you defined for your list in the Source box."

But which name are they referring to over here?

Thanks



Create a named range on the sheet where the list is kept. Include
blank rows if you think the list will be expanding. Then place
"=NamedRangeName" where the named rage is the name you gave your range,
in the validation data box for a "drop down list" choice in the data
validation dialog.



No parentheses, of course on the =rangename statement.
