Link Drop Down Boxes in Excel - HELP Please
I have created an Validation List drop down box that is used to
populate the data in one sheet. In another sheet, I have the data from the first sheet sorted to show the top 25 matching values. What I would like is to have that validation drop down box selectable from either sheet. In other words, I would like to be able to select the drop down values from either sheet I am in since the data shown in the second sheet is dependent on the first. Is this even possible? Thanks for the help anyone can provide. Conor |

Here is a guess at what you want:
Insert=Name=Define Name: List1 Refers To: =Sheet2!$A$1:$A$25 Click Add. Then in your data validation dialog, in the source textbox put =List1 The equal sign is important. This allows the validation list to refer to an list on another sheet or the same sheet. -- regards, Tom Ogilvy wrote in message oups.com...
