Excel Links – After a long time edition

excel links - 2 comments

Long time readers of Chandoo.org know that we have a regular featured called as “Excel Links“, where I share some interesting Excel articles published around the web. This used to be a weekly feature, then became a monthly thing and later once a few months thing. As I had a hectic weekend, when I got up today, I did not know what to write. So here we go, one more edition of Excel Links. I am hoping to revive this feature and share links, at least once a month.

    Hi,
    This would be an addition to the Flexible lists for Data Validation. For this follow the steps:
    1. Say your list starts from cell A1. Define a name ("valid" for an example) which would refer to "=OFFSET(InputSheet!$A$1,1,0,COUNTA(InputSheet!$E:$E),1).
    2. Say you need a validation of this in cell B1. Go to B1 and click on Data Validation, Allow Lists and input the source as "=valid"
