Validaation List
Concatenate the cells in the next column and do the dropdown list off that column. Use something like this =A2& " "&B2& " "&C2 in cell D2 say. -- PowerWheels ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PowerWheels's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30045 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=498600 |

Validaation List
Hi!
You'd have to use a helper column where you concatenate the names and post codes: Assume the range of names and codes are in B1:D10. In E1 enter this formula and copy down to E10: =B1&" "&C1&" "&D1 Then, as the source for the drop down: =$E$1:$E$10 Biff Then use column E as the source for the drop down.
