Default 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

Assign a name to the list, and just enter that name in the "Source" box.

=List_Name

Default Populate a Validation List

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?

Thanks,
Les

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.
