    Data Validation - List - Fill Down

    Hello,

    What I am trying to do is create a Data Validation using the List Option in settings. <-Easy

    But I then want to fill that down the whole column however when I do it adjusts my source formula. It adjusts it by one each filter down I do.

    Here is what my start looks like: (i hope this works)

    Data V.jpg

    (my source reads: ='kit codes'!A1:A205)

    This returns what I want. But if I fill down or copy and paste the columns in my formula also move.
    So if I copy and paste the cell with the data validation in, for example, 5 lines down, the source formula changes to ='kit codes'!A:A209

    How do I stop this? I have tried "$" in there and this didn't help. I have tried googling and have yet to find something that helps.
    I know its doable as a guy I use to work with found a solution but that was years ago.

    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks
    AP

    Thank you Humdingaling

    I was sure I tried that, but alas that has worked, and I am now super happy.

    I must have been putting the $ in the wrong spot or something.

    Thank you again!
