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

Hope this clears

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.

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).
