    Data Validation Question

    I want to apply a drop down bar to all cells that is linked to a list in a different tab. But when/if someone wants to add something to the list, i want them to just be able to add it and it automatically show up. I know you can just include more cells that are not in the list already but i dont want a huge drop down bar of all blanks.

    Thanks!

    Make the reference to the DD list dynamic. Something like...
    OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A:$A),1)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
