Excel cell multi-select from table

I have a macro-enable workbook with one tab containing task data; This tab is named CutoverHxH. Columns I & K contain data validation which pulls from a list on the tab named Arrays. In column I, the user can select a single value (a person's name). Column J is reserved for a function buttton (per line) if needed. Column K uses the same Data Validation lookup, but I would like to be able to select and display multiple values (2 or more names).

I have attached the workbook for reference. Any suggestion on how I might go about this?

Many thanks!

When you say:


Column K uses the same Data Validation lookup, but I would like to be able to select and display multiple values (2 or more names).

You mean to say you want to be able thru datavalidation in Col K to be able to select more than 1 item ??

If the answer is yes then it is not possible thru data validation it could be possible thru a combobox set to exctended but this would require additional code to align the combobox on each line each time you select it.

Thanks Gowlfow; attached is something like what I am seeking. I am just unclear how to implement it in my doc
ok working on it to fix it to your requirement. Got the picture and inline with what I pointed out earlier but here your using a listbox but should be done with a combo. Give me sometime as caught in an other urgent matter and will revert.

That is if no one else beat me on it !! :)

Check out this is this what you want ? I removed the rectangle you had created and replaced it by an OK button. Any click in Col C will display the listbox with all the items in Col A.

check several items then press OK and see the results in Col E.
go up and down in col C with the arrows and do the same and see.

if all ok then we can implement in your file.

Amazing job! I like how you implemented where you can edit within the context of the target celles, themselves! Thank you!
Your welcome and glad I could help.

BTW don't know if you noticed but LisFillRange is Dynamic and not fix so that if it grows it will always pickup all items.
