    Data Validation List to automatically update

    Hello

    I have a cell (E10) which has a drop down of 60 months. These months can change depending on the date entered in B4.

    Let's say you select "Mar-15" .... being Month 3, because the value in B4 = 31/12/2014.

    If the value in B4 changed to 30/06/2015, then the drop down doesn't refresh to equal the equivalent of Month 3, being "Sep-15".

    Is it possible to do this?

    Thanks

    Hello PDBartlett,

    I don't think it would be possible to provide you with a ready answer without seeing how you have your Sheet and formulae setup.

    Thank you for the feedback PDBartlett,

    Unfortunately, that is how a Dropdown Box works, it is not Dynamic. We could however "Automate" it slightly for you to select a New Month when you change the Year End.

    Hope that helps.
