    List using offset

    I am trying to restrict the values of some cells to a list.

    The values are taken from a structured table with 2 columns

    I tried using this formula
    =OFFSET(INDEX(Table1[Column2],MATCH("f",Table1[Column1],0)),0,0,COUNTIF(Table1[Column1],"f"))

    but I get the message: "The formula you typed contains an error"

    If I use the same formula with SUM and evaluate it I get the correct range.

    How can I determine the error that excel is warning me about? I can't use structured tables in List formula?

    Re: List using offset

    you are correct-you cannot use table references in data validation formulas
