Default MSOffice Excel 2003-Validation Listbox takes only 47 values

Menu Item Data - Validation has a limit of only 47 Values. why can't it take
more.

Try putting your list on a different worksheet, name that range and use that
range for the list.

There's a limit on how much you can type into that dialog.

I have done the same, though the range mentioned is large. it takes only
first 47 values in the range.

That's odd. I've never had any trouble getting lots more than 47 values.

Are you sure you used the name in that data|validation dialog?
