List Validation Based on another sheet
I have been having a lot of problems with this, and maybe its the way I am
expaling it so I will try to be clear. I have a workbook with two sheets. All cells in cloumn A in sheet1 have a list validation box. Sheet 2 column A has Repair Descriptions column B has the repair code. When I click on the list validation I want it to show the list from column a sheet 2. I will then pick from that list, based on that choice it populates this same cell with column b of sheet 2, not the choice I made from the list. I do not want to use multiple cells to do this. I only want to use the one column to pick this. Everyone seems to refer me to contextures website. This does not contain the answer I am looking for. I dont want to use two diffrent list validations in two diffrent cells example below: Sheet 1 A1 click is showing list from column A of sheet 2 I select the 3rd choice down Sheet 1 A1 is populated with the data in b3 sheet 2 NOT: a3 sheet 2 is this possible. If not how can I do this. I would prefer not to make a list choice in column a and then do a vlookup in column b. PLEASE HELP ME |

List Validation Based on another sheet
Thank you so much. I did not think I was ever going to find the answer to
this question. YOU ROCK! How would I resize the list box to be wider to show more data? "T. Valko" wrote: Everyone seems to refer me to contextures website.
