Hi Kunal,

You can use Data validation in Sheet 2 using range of Sheet1

In case you or anyone else are interested.
I created an Excel add-in for searchable data validation (with combobox) , called "Search deList".
Its function is to speed up the search in the data validation list. It works on multiple cells. In any cell that has data validation (with List type) pressing ALT+RIGHT will open a User Form with a combobox. You can type multiple keywords (separated by a space) in the combobox to search items on the list.
It works on any cells that have data validation on any workbook, and you don't need VBA for this.
I share this add-in here:
