I have attached a workbook that I'm having problems with. I have data validation cells on sheet 1 (Cell #'s D43 to D62) that pull from a list on sheet 2 (Cell#'s B28 to B486). My list on sheet 2 is defined under the name manager as Unit_Numbers. When I created my data validation I referenced the list rather than the cell range. I have the error alert selected so my users will know when they have entered invalid data. This has been working for the last 8 years. Today I found out from one of my users that now the data validation allows users to enter any value in cells D43 to D62 regardless of whether they are within my range B28 to B486 on sheet 2. I haven't changed anything that I'm aware of and I don't know how to fix it. My other data validations on the worksheet function properly but not this one. The only thing I thought of that is different is that my computer was updated to Windows 8 from 7 but that shouldn't make a difference because I'm still on the 2010 version of excel which is the same as what I was working with prior to this not working. My workbook is set to automatic calculation and I don't have freeze panes on. (Some of the other ideas I read about that could have been causing the issue) Any ideas?
