If only there is paste special [17 paste special tricks] for everything in life, things would be much more smoother and fun. Alas, the paste special is limited only to excel.
Here is a handy trick you can use to quickly scale up data validations set up in one cell to say a range of cells.
Just copy the cell by pressing CTRL+C and then go to the target cell(s) and press ALT+ESN. And your data validations are pasted in the new cells. That is all. Quick and Easy.
Using this, it is very easy, for eg. to copy the data validation you have setup to accept only unique values in cells from one work sheet to another.

Hey Dan,
Thanks a lot... this is too good 🙂
Awesome stuff Dan! very impressed..
Thanks guys.
Some nice ideas in there, thanks for sharing. I noticed the list with teams has a missing value though ('Arizona Diamondbacks'). Also when manipulating Pivot Tables with VBA you should be really careful not to try to select a value that isn't in the Pivot Table, if you do all hell breaks loose 🙂 That's not the case here but just some advise as I learned the hard way...
Ah.....ya caught me.
dnrTeamName drives both the charts and the drop down list. It refers to:
=OFFSET(PvtTeams!$A$6,0,0,COUNTA(PvtTeams!$A$6:$A$40),1)
If you change A6 to A5, it fixes that little issue.
A better question though, who actually cares about the Arizona Diamondbacks?
🙂
Excellent post. Thanks
Great job, Dan! Thanks a million!
