    Ignore items in a data validation list based on another cell value

    Hi

    I have a drop down list on a different sheet based on column A below. Ideally in my list I would like to set it up so that items don't appear if the status in column F changes to Complete.


    List Example

    A.........................F

    Job 245 ...............Complete
    Job 356 ...............Live
    Job 500 ...............Live


    Thanks

    Re: Ignore items in a data validation list based on another cell value

    Try this to generate your data validation list copied down:

    =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$500,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($2:$500)/($F$2:$F$500="Live"),ROW(1:1))),"")

    You can put this in a later column (say column Z) and hide it. Just use it for the reference in the data validation.
