Try a custom formula of
=EXACT(D1,INDEX($E$1:$E$2,MATCH(D1,$E$1:$E$2,0))) where D1 is the DV cell and E1:E2 is your list. -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Kevin" wrote in message ...

If you create the list by typing the values in the Data Validation
dialog box, the entries will be case specific. If you refer to a list on a worksheet, the entries will not be case specific. There are instructions here for referring to a list on a worksheet: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html Kevin wrote: Hi I have created a data validation list.
