    Searchable dropdown with variable source range

    Hi,

    I am looking for a way to set searchable dropdowns in a column with variable range. So, if a new row is added in the data source, then it should be found in the dropdown choices as well.
    The searchable part I know how to do it, but I fail to setup the dynamic range. How can I approach this?

    Many thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Re: Searchable dropdown with variable source range

    Is this a drop down in a cell via data validation?

    One way to set up a dynamic named range is with a formula like this:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    It will start at A2 (assumption is there's a header in A1) and end at the last populated row in column A (assuming there are no blanks in the data).
    Then you can add or delete and the range will adjust to fit.

    Although as this is in the VBA section, I may have missed the point a little

    BSB
