Replacing Values
 

I have a "database" in Excel I created that organizes people by location.
Those locations could change at any time. I got the master location list
included for data validation on my data table (List drop-down) that updates
itself when a location changes. What I would like to happen is when a
location changes values, have the old value be replaced by the new one in the
data tab automatically. Can it be done and if so how? Ideally, I would like
this to be done behind the scenes as you type.

Replacing Values
 

Say we use TWO location tables, Current and New. The macro would run down
each person, and if the location has changed, update the record.

Once the people check is complete, the macro could copy the New table onto
the Current table. This insures that the validation pull-down is also
correct.

I got around the issue with a userform, and it works great. Thanks, Gary's

The data validation updates itself anyways (thank goodness), but it was with
the current values I needed to change. Thanks.
