Excel use another Workbook for data validation range.
 

I would like to be able to use other worksheets or other workbooks for data
validation range.
Currently the validation range must be on the same sheet & although there
are macro workrounds, I find this restrictive.
Thanks

Many Thanks, just shows you never know till you ask.
Just a bit of a pain that both files have to be open at the same time, can't
have everything
Again Many Thanks
