Morning,
I have 2 columns as explained below.
Column J consists of values like Z159, R235, P004, N/A

Column L consists of values like JHMCN129357842S87, N/A

The columns have a drop down where the only selectable option is N/A

When i use the Data Validation Circle Invalid Data option i see a message telling me that there are more than 255 results etc & cant show them all.

Because of this i dont get to see where my real issues are.
How can i get around this please.
Having the values mentioned above in a drop down will never be possible.

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Hi ipbr21054

What are your invalid values? How do you recognise these?
Perhaps a macro can do the selection for you and highlight those cells with a different colour, even if there are a million...
