drop down lists
Make both row and column absolute.
Source $AT$1:$AT$13 Better yet, select your list range and insertnamedefine Give it a name. In DVList source enter =thename Now you can use that list on other sheets if you wanted.

drop down lists
Gord,
You select the column or range of cells, then pick DATA|VALIDATION menu When the dialog box opens select SETTINGS and under ALLOW, Choose LIST and insert the set of data cells ($AT$1:$AT$13) the you want. the Excel help menu describes this. Search for "drop-down". The other reply to your post may do as well also, esp for use on other sheets. Haven't tried it. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Make both row and column absolute.
