I probably would use some named ranges for this and tie those named ranges to
a Validation list. I'm going to give an example for one and you can go from
there.

Insert - Name - Define - Enter "ClientName" (no spaces)
in the RefersTo Box enter
=offset('Sheet1'!A1,1,0,counta('Sheet1'!A:A)-1,1)

THis assumes that you don't have anything after your list for ClientName in
column A.


Enter add and then put your cursor on the offset section to see the range
displayed. You can also display your range with CTRL G and type in the range
name.

For the validation list, Data - Validation - Allow List and then enter
"= ClientName" without the quotation marks.
