This is for a football fantasy draft I have coming in a couple of days. I have a drop down list in every cell for each team owner, by round. The list pulls from a named range in a different worksheet.

What I would like to do is have that range be limited to only include names of players who have not been drafted yet. I have a column next to the player name that says, "UNDRAFTED". I was thinking that could be used to determine if the player's name should be included in the drop down list.

Any suggestions?
 
  • Each drop down is defined as a list using =Undraftedlist as the source
  • Undraftedlist is a named list referring to Players!$AM$2:$AM$968
  • Players!$AM$2:$AM$968 is the list where I have this formula:

{=IF(ROWS(AM$2:AM2)>COUNTIF(E$2:E$968,"No"),"",INDEX(B:B,SMALL(IF(E$2:E$968="No",ROW(E$2:E$968)),ROWS(AM$2:AM2))))}
  • Column B = the master list of players
  • Column E = A Yes/No answer to the question "Drafted?"
  • Column AM = the summary list of players remaining that are listed in the drop down list
OK...

Define Undraftedlist as:

=OFFSET(Players!$AM$2,,,COUNTIF(Players!$AM$2:$AM$968,"?*"))

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
OK...

Define Undraftedlist as:

=OFFSET(Players!$AM$2,,,COUNTIF(Players!$AM$2:$AM$968,"?*"))


BINGO!!!!!!!!!!

You are AWESOME. That is going to help me so much tonight. THANKS!!!!
