Validation lists

G

Guest

I'm trying to create drop-downs using the Validation command. I have a sheet
the has columns of name lists for different city offices. I want to refer
the drop-down to the appropriate column in that separate sheet. The command
will not allow me to enter another sheet as the source. I've even tried
entering the source manually; i.e., ='emp'!B2:B52 and received an error
message that lists cannot be created from other sheets. The instructions
that I pulled from the web assistant indicates that list can be created in
separate sheets or even in separate workbooks
