Hi everyone.

Is it possible to create a data validation drop down list that is linked to another drop down list in the same workbook. Not to be mistaken with dependent or cascading drop down lists.

In other words, if I have a drop down list in Sheet1 and create the same drop down list in Sheet 2. Im hoping the user can make a selection on either sheet and the selection will show on both sheets.

For example drop down list of "cat" and "dog" on both Sheet1 and Sheet 2. User selects "dog" on Sheet1 and sees "dog" selected on Sheet 2. Then switches to "cat" on Sheet2 and sees the change to "cat" in Sheet1.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Yes, there is, but I think only with VBA, could that solution be in VBA?
