The issue is that I have one cell validated list that contains "Revenue -
Administration - Warranty - Sick or Vacation Pay" the cell next to it
validates what function the field engineer did i.e. "system commissioning for
Revenue or emails for Administration" the next cell should call out to a time
sheet that they fill in and reflects back to let's say " Revenue- System
Config.

If this is confusing myabe I can send you the .xls sheet to look at?

Could you please be more specific.

I assume you are trying to have data validation as follow:
- The data-entry cells value must be found in the range Data
So far, no problem, nothing different than normal. You would use a regular
List type of data validation.
- The issue is that Data is made of 3 non-continuous ranges: Data1, Data2,
and Data3
In this case, you could use a function that checks is the value is in one
(at least) of these 3 ranges. To use a function, you would the Custom type of
data validation instead of the List type:

Assuming the data entry cell is A1:
=NOT(AND(ISERROR(MATCH(B2,data1,0)),ISERROR(MATCH( B2,data2,0)),ISERROR(MATCH(B2,data3,0))))

would that work for you?
