    Data VAlidation lists challenge

    Hi Guys

    I have a worksheet with several different tabs. I have a data validation list on the front tab and the same list on each of the other tabs. I need my sheet to work so that a change made to any of the lists is refelected on all the other tabs?

    I hope this is fairly clear to understand

    Thanks for your help

    In the sheet below the same data validation lists appear on both Tab1 and 2.

    I want to be able to change one of the lists options, and those changes to also happen on the second tab.

    I need the lists on both tabs to be dynamic. The example I have given here is a very simple version of what I am wroking with. On my actual worksheet there are many tables and graphs on each tab.

    Do you know of any way that this can be done?

    Cheers

    Ok. If there is no way to do this then I will use the first option you put forward.

    This was not essential to the worK I am doing but it was a "very nice to have".

    THanks for your help
