I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do, but perhaps the INDIRECT
function might be what you're looking for. Let's say your value of "A" is
stored in cell A1. To use this value to determine a validation list, you'd
use the formula:

=INDIRECT(A1)

If not, please post back with more details.
