    Data Validation cell entry - How to paste like formula's do?

    Hello,

    I would assume this is pretty simple... What I need is when I paste this into multiple cells that the cells in this date validtion also change. Currently I have to do it manually for each line. It copies the data validation as is unlike a formula which adjusts to the cells that its being pasted in.

    My formula's

    =IF($C$3="",Regions,NA)
    =IF($B$3="",NA,INDIRECT($B$3))

    Example of the next cell and so on

    =IF($C$4="",Regions,NA)
    =IF($B$4="",NA,INDIRECT($B$4))

    Thanks for the help!

    Remove the $$ from your validation formula and it will adjust.
