You're my hero! I've been struggling with the "no blanks" on data validation lists thing for ages and this method of dynamic named ranges is SUPERB.
Thanks

@jimaldo64 , No List in Excel 2020. OFFSET will work in any version.

I'm using excel 2002, there doesn't seem to be a "create table" feature :-(
if i have to use offset, will my 'tables' still work in newer versions of excel?

hey I have a quick question about copy and pasting. This may be very trivial but I just cant figure it out. On my sheet2 I hvae a table all set up and on my sheet1 I have some cells setup as data validation and referencing the table on sheet2. Everything works fine and how I want it. BUT if I try to copy those cells in sheet1 and paste them, say, down a few cells then the table refernces change. How do I lock the location of the table so when I copy and paste, it wont change the table location?
