    Using a named Range in Data Validation

    Hi.
    Is there any way to use a Named Range in the "Source" field in a Data Validation?
    I have multiple sheets in a workbook that have the same layout, and I am using alot of different Data Validations. My problem is that whenever I need to change, or add a choice to one of these, I have to go to each sheet and change the Data Validations that are effected by that change.
    My hope was that there is a way to use a "Named Range" or something to put all of my acceptable choices, for that Data Validation, in one spot. And make any changes I had to that field.

    Yes, you can. Put =MyNameRange in the source of the List.
