Validation List
Hi Angeles,
The list is resized using the COUNT and OFFSET functions. For example, the name "FruitList" contains the function: =OFFSET(Lists!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Lists!$A:$A),1) OFFSET has the form (Reference, Offset # of Rows, Offset # of Columns, Height, Width) where Height and Width are optional. In the function above, the start Reference is Lists!$A$1 and the number of rows in height is found by counting the number of cells in range $A:$A that contain values (5 in this case). Thus, if additional values are entered in Lists!$A:$A, then the FruitList will grow. The use of Dynamic Named Ranges becomes very helpful when dealing with databases of unknown size. If this is unclear, let me know.
