I need to have a dropdown list to select values from and the list is populated from a named range. I understood that the way to do this is by using data validation. I just don't want the error system there at all, if user decides to input something stupid, let him. How do I implement this, what's the "override"-parameter of data validation?

edit. I think
.ShowInput = False
.ShowError = False

does the trick.

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Hi,

Uncheck the box for "show error alert" (and/or "show input message"). Then just have a source range for the values to show.

Edit: nevermind ... you got it.
