    What does this mean ...

    I want the standard value of the list to be the last row of the sheet
    The last row on the sheet ... 1048576? Or the last entry in the Data Validation List?

    OK ... This works for Data Validation applied to Column A

    It will return the last entry in the DV List to any cell in column A that has DV applied to it

    Thank you, the data validation dropdown on sheet1 has to have standaard the last value but the user also must have the option to select a other value. I only get the last row. What is the meaning of the formula on sheet2? thanks in advance

    It would help move things along if you uploaded a sample workbook.

    The formula is a Dynamic Named Range referring to a Data Validation List.

    Hi

    I have uploaded a quick sample.
    The last row / date from sheet1 i want as standard value is B1 sheet2.
    It tried your code but some how im doing something wrong

    If tried also a checkbox, if clicked then the user can change the dropdown otherwise the standard value with be taken. I cant get it to so in not clicked the dropdown is not selectable
    Thanks

    Thanks, now i get it, i left my code in, so that was going wrong..
    I have got a checkbox if the its unchecked then the dropdown is unselectable, the problem is that i cannot read the value of the unselectable dropdown

    However, the question you originally asked has been answered

    Re: VBA data validation last row, as standard

    You create a (Dynamic) Named Range to refer to the list, for example, nrList2, and then use that in the Data Validation ...

    The code is designed to determine the Named Range and the range it refers to ... so, in theory, it should work for the second list. If the DV is on another sheet, you would need to replicate the Selection Change event handler
