How to create a list of items for use in a dropdown list with data from a different..

Nasser:

I have been following your other thread, and decided to respond in here. I think the problem with your request is that the setup you need requires a number of complex formulas. I did a quick search around the web and found a sample file that does what you need to do. Maybe if you poke around this file you will get ideas for yourself.

and then name it,
easiest way to explain with little typing

goto your list sheet
At the top menu select insert,name,define
type a one word name in the name box
hit the square icon in the refers to box and highlight the range
then say ok

that list range is now named go to the other sheet and select the cell you want data validation
goto data,validation,list
in the source box enter
=ListName
ListName being whatever you had named that range

then click ok

should be done

i don't think u opened my file ..plz take a look at it and u will understand what i mean

thank you

He not only wants Drop-Downs through data validation, but he also whats any selection that has been chosen already to no longer be one of the choices.

Guys Plz look at my file u will notice that the PROJECT NAME should appear only once when i choose it from a dropdown list , then below it in the COL.B i start to choose the EMPLo. Names.
and when the names in the first project 1 finished i go to the COL A and choose the Project2 or whatever , then i go again to the COL.B and start choose the Project2 emplo's

TY now i understand that there is noting can do it

best wishes
