    Dear all

    I have a list of invoice no prepared and will be selected in other sheet.

    I will mark "Y" to indicated that the Invoice No is used. User can not select it from the validation list

    Dear Bye Marks

    Thanks so much, i have changed the formula as =FILTER(Inv_tbl,G7:G14<>"Y")

    Then I use #. I did not know what it mean but it works

    Can you enlighten me what this # mean and how does it works?

    If an array is generated by a spill formula and starts in A1, then you can dynamically refer to that array in a formula as A1#.
