    Dynamic validatation based on previous validation list

    OK, here is what I am trying to accomplish: I have one cell (M11) that uses a data validation list that is tied to all the names of the worksheets in the workbook. I want the user to be able to select the worksheet they want to use in the first validation list, then have a second validation list update with data from the selected sheet. See the attached sheet for the example of what I have so far. I am getting some errors and need some help. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    You can't use a UDF to apply Validation - you would need to use the Sheet Object change event based on M11 being altered to in turn amend the validation.

    A simpler alternative perhaps...

    Delete your UDF call from M12 and apply the following Validation rule to the cell:
