    Also did this: Used a dynamic named range for SALESMEN2 which refers to =OFFSET(SALESMEN!$D$1,0,0,COUNTA(SALESMEN!$D:$D),1)
    Then made the source of the list SALESMEN2, but still getting the same result with all the blanks.

    Re: Data Validation List with only non-blank cells

    Are you using the defined name SALESMAN1 in your formula to define the name SALESMAN1?
    Define Saleman1 as
    =OFFSET(D1,0,0,COUNTA($D$1:$D$500),1)
    replacing the 500 with whereever you expect to max out. Does that work for you?

    It's still not working. Attached is the file I'm using...

    On the LEADS sheet, the drop-down list is for the salesman column.
