Dynamic Name Ranges & Drop-Down Lists (Difficult) HELP!

**STBTC** · 12-01-2016, 06:20 PM

I have sheet one with column A where given names and surnames will be entered. Once entered, column B will populate the initials. Example: John A. Doe would return JAD. These two columns are dynamic ranges. Sheet two, column A will have a drop-down where the selections from which to choose would be the NAMES, BUT when selected the INITIALS that correspond to it would populate the cell instead.
Also, if names are deleted, modified, or moved, the drop-down list wouldn’t show blanks; it would adjust. Currently, if I delete a name, the drop-down list would show a blank. Any formulae are NOT to be in cells, but as dynamic ranges or otherwise.
I will PAY to learn, if need be. Ha ha
Is it possible?
HELP!!!!

This would go a lot easier if we had something concrete to work with.

Please attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.
