    depends on what you wanted to ignore you can use a dynamic range

    im sorry, im jsut new here. basically my data are names of employees, and there are cells on that row that contains numerical values, and i want to exclude those values, and by the way, i dont think the "ignore blank" doesnt work.

    Ive tried to uncheck it but the list still has blanks on it..

    THANKS..

    Hi,

    You can use a helper column, which you can hide.
