Default Formula too Long for List Validation

The formula I need to enter as the source in a List Validation is:

=INDIRECT(CHOOSE(VLOOKUP(L10,AE1:AF53,2),AG1,AG2,A G3,AG4,AG5,AG6,AG7,AG8,AG9,AG10,AG11,AG12,AG13,AG1 4,AG15,AG16,AG17,AG18,AG19,AG20,AG21,AG22,AG23,AG2 4,AG25,AG26,AG27,AG28,AH29,AG30,AG31,AG32,AG33,AG3 4,AG35,AG36,AG37,AG38,AG39,AG40,AG41,AG42,AG43,AG4 4,AG45,AG46,AG47,AG48,AG49,AG50,AG51,AG52,AG53))

but of course it's too long to fit in the validation source field :(

I thought I could shorten it by using:
=INDIRECT(CHOOSE(VLOOKUP(L10,AE1:AF53,2),AG1:AG53) ) instead, but that doesn't
work :(

Is there anyway to shorten it and still get the same results?
I really appreciate any help I can get with this...thanks!

Maybe this:

=INDIRECT(INDEX(AG1:AG53,MATCH(L10,AE1:AE53)))
