I was using the following code part for data validation
With Selection.Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=$B$" & startRow & ":$B$" & endRow................

But the data and the drop down are in different sheets. So i had to try named range the variables startRow and endRow . But this is also not working.Is there any method take data from one sheet into drop down in other sheet .

Thanks,
Ogo
 
The code is actually adding the range as expected, but the the value in the cell range is not been added.

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Finally I have fixed it. Don't really know what was the error. The code goes like this..


Sheet2.Range("B" & StartRow & ":" & "B" & EndRow).Name = "NamedRange"
Sheet5.Cells(iRow, iCol).Select
With Selection.Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=NamedRange"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
.InputTitle = ""
.ErrorTitle = ""
.InputMessage = ""
.ErrorMessage = ""
.ShowInput = True
.ShowError = True
End With

Thank u all,
ogo
