I found instructions on how to do this but I want to take it a step further. I havent been able to find how to do this or not sure what to search for.

In the drop down box after I make a selection I would like that choice to disappear from the drop down. So that way I dont select the same option twice. This would help out greatly when creating the order of my lists.

Is there a way I can do this?
 
Indeed you are correct!

Go to Formulas > Name Manager > select NameCheck > Edit > Refers To: window > change the column to C instead of A in the formula.

Should look like this:

Code:
=OFFSET(Team!$C$1,0,0,COUNTA(Team!$C$1:$C$11)-COUNTBLANK(Team!$C$1:$C$11),1)

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
