    Referencing Table on Another Sheet

    I have a spreadsheet with two sheets in it.

    Sheet 1 = sheet with formulas/functions for data analysis
    Sheet 2 = sheet with table

    I am trying to reference a column in the table on sheet 2 from sheet 1. Specifically, I am trying to set up Data Validation that will create a list of unique values from a column in the table. I tried:

    There is a space in the header name of the column. but I was unable to get the validation to work even with columns that have just a single word name.

    I also tried:

    and that did not work either. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi there,
    You have to use INDIRECT:

    (but You wil also have duplicates if there are any in Your table)

    Does it work for You?

    That's freakin' AWESOME Miroslav. Thank you so much, I don't think I would have figured that one out on my own. Nothing in the google searches even remotely hinted at having to use INDIRECT.
