    I assume you're using an INDIRECT formula to define the range to be used as the source for a drop down list.

    Post the formula you're using.

    Re: Indirect Function - drop down starts at end of list

    OK, what's in C1?

    It might be easier for us to figure out what's going on if you posted a SMALL sample file that demonstrates the problem.

    See post #5 for instructions.

    That looks just like the original sample file.

    Sorry, but I can't figure out what you want to do based on the contents of the sample file.
