Validation Lists - One List Dependent Upon Another Sheet

[JazzBalmain]

Hello!

This is my first time using a forum and I have fairly basic Excel skills so hopefully I'm giving you all of the information you need to help me.

I want to roster staff by choosing the staff member from a validation list [Roster Sheet of attached spreadsheet]. However, I want the staff members available in this list to be determined by whether the cell is blank (ie they are NOT on leave) [Availability Sheet of attached spreadsheet]. For example, Jack Black is on annual leave on 1st and 2nd January so Jack should not show on the drop down list in the Roster sheet on these two days.

Hoping someone can help me as I'm pulling my hair out :-(

Thanks for your assistance ... it's very much appreciated.

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.
