Yes...'Categories' is a named range from the worksheet "exercises"
it has a list of the following...Abs, Chest, Cardio, Shoulders ...etc

Have a look under InsertNameDefine.

What range does Categories refer to?

I looked at the information you provided....here is what I have under my Data
Validation...List..then under souce is =Categories.
The 'categories' is from a worksheet named 'exercises'.
It does not have a list range as you described.

The second column on my workout sheet i have a data validation and the
information under source is =indirect(a5)...which refers to the information i
was describing at the top.

Anythoughts?

In Data ValidationAllowList you have a source for your list.

Assume you have selected a range like =A1:A20

If there are blank cells at the end of the list range.............say
A15:A20, your list will open at the first blank cell.

Remove those cells from your list range.

Make it A1:A14

I'm sorry...i guess i'm not understanding what i need to do.
I opened the worksheet that has all the columns and am not sure what it is
i'm to delete. For example...i have column 1 and there are about 10 cells of
information.
then of course blank cells after that for input if needed. I went in and
highlighted from the first blank cell and just pulled mouse down and then hit
delete.
i went back into my workout to test the drop down and it is still the same.

What am i not doing?
I'm sorry i'm nuts...just can't figure it out.
Thanks!

When I click on the drop down curser to pull up my list, the scroll bar is
about middle ways on the bar and does not show my list, i have to take my
mouse and scroll up to the beginning of list.

How can i have the list to show correctly???
