Change in list details for data validation
When you create a list for data validation from names range details on a sheet, how do you update the list to include the newly increased or reduced range?
RE: Change in list details for data validation
Hi Geoff
Thanks for your question
The following steps will create a dynamic range which will automatically resize according to the items in your list
Create a named range using Insert-Name-Define.
Give your range a name
In the refers to box type the following equation
=OFFSET($D$1,0,0,COUNTA($D:$D),1)
This uses the CountA function nested within the Offset function.The offset function specifies a start point of cell D1 and a finish point based on the number of populated cells in column D.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Stephen
