    Work with defined names.

    Excel 2007 => data => define names
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    Would it not be just as easy to use in sheet in graph (B3) the following (=summary!b3) that way it will always be the same or visa vera.

    Re: Data Validation List

    Hello:
    No that would not help..
    Please refr to the earlier attached excel file.
    Summary is the sheet where data is populated from weekly sheet.
    And the data from summary sheet is used in Graph.
    Please let me know if any questions.

    Re: Data Validation List

    In sheet Graph I made the drop down list.

    See the orange cell on the sheet Graph

    Excel 2007 => formula => define names

    The defined name is ClinicCode and refers to
    =ClinicCode!$A$1:$A$290

    Excel 2007 => data => datavalidation => list

    = ClinicCode
    Then you can choose the clinic code out of the list ClinicCode.

    If not found you get an error (STOP).

    See the green cell on sheet Summary

    It shows the value of sheet Graph!A3

    Hope I explained well enough.

    Do you have (another) questions, on this item, just ask.
