Default How do i add a new entry to an existing drop-down list in Excel?

I've named the list of options in a new sheet in the same workbook. When I
try to add a new option to the existing list, it will not let me rename the
new list (which includes the new entry) the old name.

Would you be interested in using a Dynamic Range Name, which would
automatically expand and contract to match the data volume?
(no vba programming necessary)

See Debra Dalgleish's website for instructions:

Does that help?
