Drop down lists
Sarah
I think you are asking if and how you can have a list in one sheet and use that list in a Data Validation cell in another sheet. Is that right? If so, yes, you can. First, name the list, say, MyList. Then when you setup the Data Validation cell, select List, then in the source box, type "=MyList" without the quotes.
