Default data validation works in one sheet but not another

I defined a pulldown data-validation menu in Sheet3.
I put a reference to it in Sheet1, and it worked OK. I put a reference to it
in Sheet2, and it failed, telling me it evaluates to an error. Formatting of
relevant cells is identical, sheet & workbook protection is (currently) off.
Any reason why it would work in one sheet and not in another?

I"m not sure if the last post worked. I'm guessing you are trying to use a
list from Sheet2 on SHeet3. Take a look here and see if it helps.
