I have created a spill range using the UNIQUE function (sits in G2), I have then used =G2# in the Data Validation to create a dropdown list. This is working for the first cell of the validation range, however not in any below it. The dropdown for all other is blank, the Source for all other cells is exactly the same.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be happening?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
