Being a complete newbie here, my question is as follows.
I have created a spreadsheet for our Little League baseball team by position
and inning. In each cell I have created a dropdown menu that lists each of
our 11 players by name so that all I have to do is select the players name
and it fills in that cell for that position/inning. What I would like this
drop down menu to do, if possible, is as I move down the player position (in
a single inning) and choose a players name to fill that position, the
dropdown menu then removes that players name in the next position to be
filled.

EX:
* 1st inning, pitcher [dropdown menu lists players A-K] - I select A
* 1st inning, 1st base [dropdown menu now only lists B-K] - I select F
* 1st inning, 2nd base [dropdown menu now only lists B-E, G-K]

Hopefully this makes sense :)

Thanks in advance for your help....

There's a sample file here in which you can list the players and
positions, then select players for each inning.

Under Data Validation, look for 'DV0051 - Assign Players Each Inning'

For a variation on this technique, with lists that don't show blank
cells, there are instructions he
