validation
When creating a validation for a list how can I create a link to a list a column in another workbook? Say I have a spread sheet and I want c4 through validation to give me a pull down with a list of what is a column called subject in another workbook? -- MIKE0W ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MIKE0W's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=21465 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=378975 |

Define a name (Menu:InsertNameDefine...) Name: list Refers to: =DataValWb.xls!CustName Then use Validationtab Settings, Allow:List, Source: =list Ola Source: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal05.html -- olasa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ olasa's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=17760 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=378975 |
Oops of course. I only tested with a name in the book. So ignore my
