Yes, it's possible if you name the list range
(either via the namebox or via clicking Insert Name Define)

See Debra Dalgleish's nice coverage at her:

Scroll down a bit to the part: 2. Name the List Range
"If you type the items on a worksheet, and name the range, you can refer to
the list from any worksheet in the same workbook ..."
