Data validation on multiple worksheets in the same workbook

[Guest]

Can you have multiple worksheets in one workbook with data validation back to
one worksheet. For example I have all the data for the dropdown list in a
worksheet titled "data", I have five other worksheets in the same workbook I
want to make dropdown list from the "data" worksheet. Is this possible? I
keep getting and error message.

If you name the validation list, you can refer to it on other sheets.
There are instructions here:
