In a Data Validation dropdown, I need to display more than one column of
data, but only "store" the value from the first column? For example: Column A = ID Number (4 characters long) Column B = Last Name Column C = First Name Column D = Column A & & Column B & & Column C Column E = Data Validation where Source = $D1:$D20 When a user clicks on the Data Validation dropdown arrow, the dropdown would display the ID Number, Last Name, and First Name. But once a person is selected, only the ID Number would be "stored" in the cell. excelent was kind enough to provide me with the following macro: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Intersect(Target, Range("E6:E20")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub Target = Left(Target, 4) End Sub Unfortunately, after I select a name from the dropdown list, the list stays open and Excel appears to lock up until I press the Esc key. Then I get a "Code execution has been interrupted" error message. Can anyone tell me how to modify the macro above so that it works properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bob |
