    Hello Roma1r

    Your question is not so clear.
    Could you explain in more detail what you want to achive?

    ex:

    IF in cell B2 the value is 1, then in cell B4 the value must be 1
    Even a little help can be a big help !!

    Created named ranges "Shift1- Shift3" based on column A

    B13 DV

    =List

    source: 1, 2, 3

    C13

    DV

    =List

    Source=INDIRECT("Shift" &B13)

    Hope this is what you require.

    How do we know if G2 relates to List 1 or List 2 ????
