Data Validation erratic bevavior
Excel 2003, WinXP
I have one list (column), named AllParts, with 47 items on sheet Normal1. I do a Data Validation in a cell in sheet Normal1 with List and "=AllParts". I get the whole list. I do Data Validation, the same, in a cell in sheet Normal2. I get the whole list I do it all again in a cell in the sheet where I want it, call it BadSheet, and all I get is the first 14 items from the list. I reset the range name AllParts to another, completely different list. I go to the cell in BadSheet, clear the Data Validation, redo the Data Validation to =AllParts. I get the same 14 items from the first AllParts list. Is this sheet corrupted or have I lost it? Thanks for your help. Otto |

What does the formula for AllParts (refers to ) look like. Are you using
relative references? they should be absolute. Refersto: =Normal1!$A$1:$A$47 -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Otto Moehrbach wrote in message ...

Thanks for your reply. The naming of the list is done by code. The code copies/pastes (shorter) lists from several sheets to make one longer list. All this is within a For loop because there are two final lists to be setup and named. Rng.Name = RngName Looking at Insert - Name - select "AllParts", the reference is absolute.

Perhaps you have a sheet level range named AllParts, and a workbook
level range named AllParts. Select BadSheet, choose InsertNameDefine, and see if AllParts shows the sheet name in the list of named ranges. Otto Moehrbach wrote: Tom Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your response. I checked both lists and both references carry the sheet name. I just renamed the BadSheet something else and then inserted a new blank sheet and rebuilt the Data Validation cells but in the new sheet (without copying anything from BadSheet). All works well.

I had BadSheet protected off and on while I was having this problem. Looking at it now I don't see that I need to protect the sheet at all, so I haven't used sheet protection on the new sheet. BTW, the problem is there with BadSheet whether or not the sheet is protected. But is there something about Data Validation and sheet protection that can cause sheet corruption? Thanks for your help.

Both references will have the Normal1 sheet name, but if you look at
InsertNameDefine while BadSheet is selected, it may show the BadSheet name at the right side of the Names list: AllParts BadSheet Or, while on BadSheet, select a cell in an empty column, and choose InsertNamePaste. Select AllParts, and click PasteList. See what range is listed for AllParts. Otto Moehrbach wrote: Debra Thanks for your response. I checked both lists and both references carry the sheet name.

Bingo! With BadSheet selected, Insert - Name - Define showed "BadSheet" at the far right. What does that mean? When I then clicked on AllParts, the reference was to 'All Parts'#REF! (The list AllParts is on sheet "All Parts"). Can you please, please, please explain to me what I did to get into this mess? And what I need to watch out for so that I don't do it again? Does it have to do with references while in a With - End With construct? I ask that because I was in a With Sheets("All Parts") construct when I named the list. The code is: Set Rng = .Range("A1", .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)) Rng.Sort Key1:=.Range("A1"), Order1:=xlAscending, _ Header:=xlNo Set Rng = .Range("A1", .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)) Rng.Name = RngName Thanks for your help.

You could create a copy of the workbook, and use Jan Karel Pieterse's
Name Manager utility to delete all versions of the "AllParts" name. You can download a copy he http://www.bmsltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm Then, step through the code, to see where the names are being created.

Refersto: =Normal1!$A$1:$A$47 -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Otto Moehrbach wrote in message .. . Excel 2003, WinXP I have one list (column), named AllParts, with 47 items on sheet Normal1. I do a Data Validation in a cell in sheet Normal1 with List and "=AllParts". I get the whole list. I do Data Validation, the same, in a cell in sheet Normal2. I get the whole list I do it all again in a cell in the sheet where I want it, call it BadSheet, and all I get is the first 14 items from the list. I reset the range name AllParts to another, completely different list. I go to the cell in BadSheet, clear the Data Validation, redo the Data Validation to =AllParts. I get the same 14 items from the first AllParts list. Is this sheet corrupted or have I lost it? Thanks for your help.

Tom, Debra
I will do that. One thing I am not sure about and want to be sure about is this: What is the process I went through or maybe went through to create this situation? I still don't know what causes this. Is it something like creating the same name by two different means? What means? I know that, in the development process, I created that name manually at first, and then by code after that. I'm so unsure of what I did that I don't know the questions to ask. Thanks for your help as always. Otto "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ... Good chance it was created earlier in the development process and not as a result of this code. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Otto Moehrbach" wrote in message ... Debra RngName is straight text without any reference to the sheet. The sheet is "All Parts". RngName = "AllParts" Set Rng = ..................... Rng.Name = RngName Note that RngName is defined as above BEFORE the With Sheets("All Parts") construct. Thanks for taking the time on a Sunday to help me with this.

By default, range names are workbook level names. If you select a range
of cells, click in the Name box, type a name, and press Enter, it creates a workbook level name. To manually create a sheet level name, activate the sheet, and choose InsertNameDefine. Include the active sheet name in the range name, e.g. Names in Workbook: BadSheet!AllParts Refers to: Normal1!$A$1:$A$14 Otto Moehrbach wrote: Tom, Debra I will do that.
