    Data Validation on several sheets

    I have a workbook with seven identical sheets, each one containing entries for a different account. On each sheet in the range J3:J14 I use data validation.

    Currently if I add an item to the validation list I have to go through each sheet individually and edit the list.

    I would like to know how to create a "master list" where I could edit the list and have it apply to all of the sheets.

    Pl see file. Create dynamic range name ValList. List is in D column of Sheet1.
    Formula

    =OFFSET($D$1,0,0,COUNTA($D$1:$D$1000))

    Use ValList name for data validation in all sheets. If elements are added or deleted in column D ValList automatically adjusted and drop down list shows all elements.

    For Validation

    List --> ValList

    Pl note
    Array formula should be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys together.
