Drop Down Lists 2007
I have followed all the steps in creating a drop down list in Excel 2007:
Created Named list on seperate sheet goto the sheet that the drop down will be on and select the appropriate cell Data Data Validation Allow:List Source: =BlahList Click "OK" ....And then, I get this message every time: "The list source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." So. What am I doing wrong? Ive been to Youtube, and read numerous articles on here about "Drop Down Lists" and still am having an issue with this one feature. Thank you for your time and attention in this... |

That's fine for creating names

Thank you Mike.
"Use in Formula" is grayed out on Bar if no names have been defined. Too faint for these old eyes. Max...............you see this?

Sorry, Gord and Max
Didn't read the bit about Paste List. Fortunately Mike read the question correctly and gave you the answer. -- ------- Regards Roger Govier "Gord Dibben" gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...
