    Using UNIQUE function in a named range

    Hi all,

    I have attached a screenshot that i think shows everything I will now try to explain more below.

    EF SG1.png

    I have Tbl_Comp3 which I have referenced in my UNIQUE formula in cell E2
    This has given me the dynamic list I am after
    I wish to use this list as a Data Validation list but, as you can see, it doesn't find anything to put into the 'Value' field.

    What am I missing?

    Data valiation can only refer to range or formula that refer to range like Offset or Index.

    Please try data validation list
    =$E$2#

    That is such a simple solution and one I didn't know (self taught I'm afraid)
    Can you explain exactly what the hashtag is doing please?

    Thank you very much
