    Exclamation Dynamic data validation list

    Hello All members,

    Iam using data validation list on a cell to create a dropdown in that cell. when i input some value in that cell it gives me an error because that value is not in the dropdown list.

    Is there any way when i enter that value gets included in the dropdown list and cell dropdown gets updated?

    It can be dynamically update (via VBA imho) but in other way that's why is called validation, you can't enter not proper value

    Re: Dynamic data validation list

    OK. I figured out something like this.

    Dynamic range for drowdown list with 1 additional empty line at bottom (to give user possibility put number outside validation list)
    If this 'typed' value does not exist already is added at the bottom and automatically appear at second click in cell on drop down list.

    1. VBA into particular sheet:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    2. dynamic range to create A1:A30 called 'list'
    3. drodown in cell C1

    and should works

    file attached.
