Good morning,

I am trying to use this reference to create an auto fill data validation.

https://www.extendoffice.com/docume...op-down-list-autocomplete.html?page_comment=1

It works great for a normal named ranged. However, it does not seem to work when I'm trying to reference a column from another table. This other table is using Power Pivot to bring in Active Directory users. Since users come and go often, I really would like to have a refresh whenever working with this workbook.

When I click on the validation for this column, I simply get the data validation formula and not the list of users from my other table. Example: INDIRECT(TableUser[displayName])
I'm still pretty green with VBA code so I sort of see what's happening here but not enough to change the code.


Is this possible to correct or am I out of luck?

Thank you!
Randy

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
