Greetings,

I have a master list of company personnel names saved as a table - named "Personnel" - on a hidden "Settings" worksheet. Names are ordered by seniority, then alphabetically. I use that table as source for a personnel dropdown list in a few spots in my workbook via INDIRECT formula.

On one of my worksheets ("Detail Sheet"), selections from the master list are input into cells B16:61. Not all names are used every time, selections change, and are not entered according to the ordering scheme described above.

Is there a way to create a dropdown list elsewhere that references the master "Personnel" table (for seniority/alphabetical ordering), but have it contain only the unordered names that are included on "Detail Sheet"?

Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
