data validation problem


Posted by Brent Cahill on April 07, 2001 8:31 PM

Is it possible to have a cell use data validation with data that is in another sheet, or does the data for the combo box have to be on the same sheet.

Hi Brent

Yes it is. You can use either of these 2 methods:

=INDIRECT("Sheet2!$C$1")

....Or

=MyRange
Where "MyRange" is a named range on sheet2


I also have some more on Validation on my WebSite under "Handy Hints"
