Combine Named Ranges

[mycon73]

Hi,

I have 3 named ranges that I would like to combine in the Data Validation, "List" option.

Having:

=NameRang1,NameRange2,NameRange3

Does not seem to work.

Am I using the wrong symbol to combine these or is there another method?

Thanks

you would have to join them in vba

Hi martindwilson,

Hmm? This appears to be more complex than originally thought. How's this done through VBA?

Is this the only method?

[martindwilson]

well if they are not dynamic ranges then you could reference them in another range of cells and name that
say
z1 =a1
z2=a2
z3=a3
z4=q6
z5=q7
z6=r12
z8=r13 where a/q/r are your original ranges

Might this rather convoluted, non VBa method, of combining dynamic lists be of any interest?

Add or subtract from List1, List2, and List3 as required, just keep the lists continuous i.e. no blanks.

Drag Column I down as far as you realistically expect your longest list to be, plus a bit more.

Hope this helps.
