    Fill listbox with values from an other worksheet...

    Is it possible to fill a listbox on worksheet wsB with values which are located on worksheet wsA?

    I can't get it through the data validation option because then the values have to be in the same worksheet.
    Life's a canvas, you fill the picture!

    I assume you mean A dropdown menu if you are using a list from data validation


    Go to Insert,Name,Define,,Put in a one word name such as
    FromOtherSheet
    in the reference box enter the range from the other sheet

    =[test2.xls]Sheet1!$A$1:$A$4


    goto data validation,list

    in the refrence box enter

    =FromOtherSheet


    it appears that this only works if both workbooks are open
