I am trying to define a name that is based on two non-sequential cells.

I want to use a drop down list based on these two cells but the data valadation will not allow it so I was hoping I could define a name instead.

Is there another way to do this.

example: I would like a drop down list that contains the values of cells E5 and E9 only.

Thanks for the help.

The data validation of the cells A1, and A2, is taken from range F1:F3.

Highlight cells A1, A2, and click on Data, Validation, in the "Allow:" drop down, pick "List",
in the "Source:" box, enter
=$F$1:$F$3


Have a great day,

Thanks!

That is a little more labor intensive than I was looking for in my workbook, but I can easilly implement it with a little more time.

Thanks again.
