    (Excel magic trick ¤241) Data Validation w Shrinking List

    Hi,
    I looked at the following clip to try to create a similar drop-down list.
    (Excel magic trick ¤241) Data Validation w Shrinking List
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t4yl7P7-9A

    My problem is that my dropdown list is being used on to multiple rows and columns.
    This causes invalid messages as soon as I use the same drop down list on multiple columns/rows.

    Is it possible to modify this code for that purpose?

    Regards
    /Krypton
