Default Variable Input Range for Combo Box

I have a combo box which will give a different list depending on other
selections made by the user.

I have been able to generate the relevant list in a certain range of cells
(let's say column A) but the length of the list varies dramatically depending
on which list is active. It can be anywhere between 2 options and approx 150
options.

If the list is short I want to only show the two options in the list without
a long blank list below it. I have generated a cell which calculates the
number of options in the list but I can't work out how to integrate this into
the input range control on the combo box.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Phil

Thanks Duke! There's some really clever people around here, which is a
godsend to us not so clever ones!
