I have created a validation list of accounting categories that looks something like this.

6000 Salaries
6014 Fax Communications
6022 Etc.

I have discovered that if the corner is selected and dragged downwards into other cells containing the same validation, I get categories that do not exists such as:

6001 Salaries
6002 Salaries
6003 Salaries

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
