Data Validation From Different Workbook

G

Guest

In cell A3 of workbook named “Job Costsâ€, I have a drop down list referenced
from a different, opened, workbook named “Materialsâ€. Data Validation on this
cell is; Allow - List, Source – (Several lists from workbook “Materials†such
as Aluminum,Wood).

In cell A4 of workbook “Job Costsâ€, I would like to create another list that
looks at cell A3 and gives all the items for that chosen category. In Data
Validation, I have tried to use =INDIRECT($A3). This doesn’t work unless the
lists (Aluminum, Wood) are in the same workbook.

What am I missing?
