Populate a Validation List
I know how to take a cell and limit the input via a list using Data
Validation. Is there a way to populate that list using a range from another worksheet? Thanks, Les |
Populate a Validation List
Assign a name to the list, and just enter that name in the "Source" box.

Thanks!! That worked great!
Add at twist to my original question. I am using this feature to make available airport identifiers. Every airport has a 3-letter identifier. So, if I enter AND as my departure airport (Cell B10), I don't want AND to appear in the drop down list for destination airport (B11). Not sure if this is possible via the validation list, but asking anyway. Is there a way to drop the airport that I depart from the list that will be used to pick the destination airport?

Debra Dalgleish has a very extensive collection of web pages dedicated to
drop-downs. On one of these, she exhibits formulas and techniques of Peo Sjoblom for eliminating previously chosen items from the list.
