---Copy--- To reference these new regions in your data validation, you simply need the formula: =INDIRECT(H4 & "T") ---End--- The +single+ ampersand will do that? Would you believe I have a book that gives this as the example? =INDIRECT(&&(H4)&"T") which of course did not work. I am working on your example now. I may not even need to upload this. This would a neater and more efficient way to do this. THANK YOU, Ray!!
