drop down list   
My question: I have two worksheets. One worksheet has several columns. The 
second worksheet has one column. I want the information from number 2 
worksheet to be in a drop down in a column on my first worksheet.
Thanks.

RE: drop down list   
Hi,

You can use Data, Validation for this, but you must name the range in the 
1st sheet that contain the items you want on the drop down in the second 
sheet.

1.  Select the range containing the items in sheet 1 then choose Insert, 
Name, Define and type a name (without spaces) into the Names in workbook box 
and click OK.  Suppose you name it myList.
2.  Move to sheet 2, select a cell or range and choose Data, Validation and 
on the first tab pick List from the Allows drop down.  In the Source box 
enter =myList and click OK.
