    I do an annual Fire Department Fire Board report and have to input the mileage logged for each Fire call for the Firefighters. So in past I have had to manually look up the individual FF's response as well as to log what type of call that it was. So this will help in having the addresses in a Validation list as well as the Response times as well as the mileage. Thank you for very clear instructions in all of your training.

    I was looking for an hour now to the solution with the indirect-function you show at 6:50 - thank you so much! I was getting so mad... This doesn't seem to be a problem in other tutorials I saw, it always worked without it so the content creator didn't (have to) show this function.

    Great. I was looking for the way to include automatically data in the drop sown today I got it. I tried without formatting the range into Excel table, it works well. I just include the whole the column in the range and use it in the data validation with Indirect. Thanks once again Leila.

    engineer here. i use data validation a lot. and the best use is for choosing materials (pipe, elastomers, etc).
    what i have is a series of columns that all include data validations. as you pick them, the resulting pipe size, material grade, etc., is chosen from a chart where i use the index+match combo to choose.
    it's very convenient, quick, and best of all, doesn't require flipping thru hard copy charts (in small print) and possibly making errors.
