    dynamic dropdown list

    Hi,
    I want to make a dropdown list for column D in sheet1 and that list comes from column M6 to unknown last row in column M in sheet2.
    In the data validation, i don't know how to write a formula because the last row is changing.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks, it worked.
    In columnD in sheet1, I want to have the dropdown list, but I don't know the last row because the last row in column D is changing.
    How can I have the dropdown list in column D ?

    Thanks

    The countA portion of the offset finds the last row for you, assuming it is all contiguous data.

    Re: dynamic dropdown list

    Does the same type of solution not apply?

    I dont understand what is different about sheet1 and why the link above does not work for you.
