    Dynamic List

    is it possible to have an dynamic list, so that when I add in a new entry in to the input column, the output column will automatically change to the same thing. Also then my dropdown will realise a new entry has been inputted (uses the output list) and the list will update to show this.

    Thanks

    Re: Dynamic List

    Use simple formula in F5:

    =IF(D5="","",D5) copied down and extended as far as you want

    Then, change Named Range for Output to:

    =OFFSET(Sheet1!$F$5:$F$9,0,0,COUNTIF(Sheet1!$F$5:$F$9,"*?"),1)

    if entries are text...

    or

    =OFFSET(Sheet1!$F$5:$F$9,0,0,COUNT(Sheet1!$F$5:$F$9),1)

    if entries are numbers...
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
