Data Validation List problem
I can create a list from an adjacent sheet no problem and it works...but when I save exit and restart the workbook the drop-down is not active. The drop down icon is on the cell but will not work. The settings are also gone when I re-enter the range again only to loose it when I exit and re-open... any ideas?

Hi,

In xl2007 or earlier you have to name the list if it is not on the same sheet as the validation. Regards Claus B. -- Win XP PRof SP2 / Vista Ultimate SP2 Office 2003 SP2 /2007 Ultimate SP2 |

I am using Excel 2010 the settings dialog does not have an option to enter a named list just cell references. |

A named range IS a cell ref. -- Garry Free uenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |

How dumb of me! YES works fine.... cheers gents. Why they let you select a range of cells and label the config box with a "valid" reference without a warning this should be a named range.....??

Well.., using a ref to a named range is optional but is always a 'best practice' when your DV list is stored on another sheet. In this case the defined name should have global (workbook level) scope. Otherwise, lists stored on the same sheet as the DV cells should be local (sheet level) scope! -- Garry Free uenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |
