I'm looking to create a cell with data validation, which utilizes a list that's stored in a name, as opposed to a list that's located on a sheet somewhere. First I started with the named list, which works perfectly. I've called it data_123, and its reference is ={"1";"2";"3"}. But for some reason I haven't been able to get the data validation function to recognize this. When I open the data validation dialogue box, I select "list", and for the source I type "=data_123", but I'm not having any luck. I recall this is possible to do, but I seem to have forgotten a step. Can someone please fill me in on what I'm doing wrong here? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
