HI,
I have an interesting issue with Data Validation used in conjuction with a named range.
I have a Calcs worksheet and an Appoint_list worksheet within the same workbook. The Calcs worksheet conatins a list of Clients and the Appoint_list worksheet has a data validation cell which access the Client list called Appoints.
The named range which I have used is called Appoints and is a dynamic named range with the following fornula =OFFSET(Calcs!$I$2,0,0,COUNTIF(Calcs!I:I,"?*")-1,1), I have used the Countif(Calcs!i:i,"?*") to exclude blank cells (otherwise the cells that look blank but conatin a formula and are included and the validation list contains many blank spaces.). When I use this named range I only see 1 name in the validation drop down list i.e. the first name on the list. If I hard code the range =Calcs!$I$2:$I$15 the list works fine.
I am sure I have used Offset before in these circumstances so I assume the Countif(Calc!i:i,"?*") must be issue.
Can anyone assist ?
Many thanks
