What does your list look like? How do you want it to "pop up"?

Hi Fred ,
Below is the list I have created in sheet two. Through Data Validation in Sheet one , I have used the list option to link with the sheet where I have got the below list. I want this to automatically pop up in sheet 1 when I type the word. Hope this clears TRANS TASMAN BROC FRAG BROC PAPER BROC PRINT BROC MISC LETS TALK NET OFFER PURCHASE ORDER PREPAID WELLBEING DM INCENTIVES MISC EXP COURIER INTERCO CHGS - FINANCE INTERCO CHGS - MKTG INTERCO CHGS - ORDER FLOW "Fred Smith" wrote: What does your list look like?

Here's some thoughts ..
Assuming the reference data set, viz: TRANS TASMAN BROC FRAG BROC PAPER etc are in a named col range, eg: MyRange: =Sheet2!$A$1:$A$15 (above created via Insert Name Define) Then in any sheet, say in Sheet1, let's assume A1 will be where we input the name: MyRange We could place in say, A2: =IF($A$1="","",IF(ROW(A1)COUNTA(INDIRECT($A$1))," ",INDEX(INDIRECT($A$1),ROW(A1)))) then copy A2 down as far as required to cover the max expected range size. In A2 down will be extracted the contents of the col range whose name is input in A1. Adapt to suit where you want the contents to appear. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Mysore" wrote: Hi Fred , Below is the list I have created in sheet two.

We could place in say, A2:
=IF($A$1="","",IF(ROW(A1)COUNTA(INDIRECT($A$1))," ",INDEX(INDIRECT($A$1),ROW(A1)))) Note: If/when adapting the above to suit your layout .. always use "ROW(A1)" in the starting cell's formula (eg placed in A2). Do not change this. It has nothing to do with the fact that the input cell for the named range is in A1. ROW(A1) is simply used as an incrementer in the formula to return the numeric series: 1,2,3 ... when we copy the formula down from the starting cell (I use "ROW(A1)" out of convention). -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
