Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
You will need to put the formula in a cell & then refer to the cell like
Excel Formula:
=A2#

it works in a blank cell, but when I introduce =A2# in data validation, nothing happens

You will need to change the A2# to point to the cell with the Unique formula

You need to use List rather than custom
