validation error, urgent plz help
 

Hey guys

Hows it going? I really need your help. I am doing some work for my
project and cannot seem to figure out how to sort out information in
the drop-box.

for example, I have information in rows/column ranging from:
A4309 to B5396

the information in the A column is the main lookup value and the
information in B column are the corresponding values

ie.

A (Team #) B (value)
251 1103
251 1104
258 9407
258 9408
etc

ranging from once again, A4309 to B5396

Now when I try to validation the information in B5, ie. enter the TEAM
# to get the corresponding value, I get the values for the entire B
column. Also, it will not let me validate both A&B b/c it says the LIST
is to large ($A$4309:$B$5396), and thus I can only select the VALUE
column; leaving me with all the values but not the exact values for say
team 251. I hope you can follow what i am asking. pls,pls let me know
asap! thank you so muchh! really appreciate it!

take care
