Fill Drop Down with List
Hello,
I am trying to use a list I created of employees in a drop down box on a different worksheet but can't seem to get it to work. The worksheet my drop down is on is: Schedule I want it in D9 and make it visible only when it's clicked on. When another cell is clicked, I want the drop down to disappear but the text to remain. The worksheet my list is on is: Data The first cell has a header Employee C1 The list ranges from C2:C16 How do I get the list from Data worksheet to feed the drop down in Schedule? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!!! |

Fill Drop Down with List
Unless you want to house your lists on the active worksheet, you will need to
name your list. Go to your menu Insert|Name|Define. The variable name I chose is EmpList This refers to: =Data!$C$2:$C$16 Then, in your cell on Schedule, instead of choosing List and =Data!$C$2:$C$16, you would choose, List and =EmpList. Hope this helps. -- John C "Stockwell43" wrote: Hello, I am trying to use a list I created of employees in a drop down box on a different worksheet but can't seem to get it to work.
