    Selecting date from the drop down list without using help of other sheet / data validation

    I have monthly sheets(Jan to Dec)
    In a specific cell of each sheet I need the drop down list of dates for each month.

    Currently I am doing Data Validation - List Type
    Collecting monthly date range from the Master Sheet

    Is there is any other way...

    Suggestions Please.

    I'm not sure what you mean by this?
    i have to make a date entry in ListMasterSheet and again have to come back to do List type data validation in specific cell range
    Will help you come up with alternatives but first need to understand why you don't like the data validation (so I don't come up with something just as bad).

    Well thanks for your time.
    Basically i dont want to refer the date from the other sheet. Because every year i have to change date list in ListMaster Sheet. Thats the reason

    I would set up a list that updates itself yearly. For your listmaster sheet, in B1

    =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),COLUMN(A1),ROW(A1)) dragged across and down. Clear anything over the limit for any month.

    To take into account leapyears in C29

    =IF(DAY(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),3,0))=29,DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),COLUMN(B29),ROW(B29)),"")

    Would that work for you?
