GS, I don't think my suggestion is any neater

Just some thoughts on your suggestion
Instead of:
.. In A1 enter 1

Suggest in A1: =IF(B1="","",1)
(as the 1st source cell B1 may be blank)

Then to
.. Use column C as the validation list rather than column B

the OP could use this expression as the dynamic range for his DV:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$C$1,,,SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$C$1:$C$10<"")))
