I'm assuming in indirect you have formula..<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41375243-1"><span>=indirect($a$2)</span>
</code></pre>
<br />
Change it to this...<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41375243-2"><span>[code]=indirect($a2)</span>
</code></pre>
<br />
And drag it down it will do what you are looking for...<br />
<br />
Enclosed is the link for your reference for data validation about how to apply the same..<br />

Please read my comment I have sent along with the attachment.<br />
<br />
You have take one further unnecessary step by creating dynamic range. The attachment I sent is not with dynamic range but rather the table header is directly as dynamic range in data validation.

Hi:<br />
I have 3 columns that need to have data validation lists which are indirects<br />
so for example<br />
<br />
In Cell A2 user selects from a list dropdown which has the inventory types named Inventorylist<br />
Based off of A2 in Column B is a dropdown with indirect($A$A2) to select from Categorieslist<br />
Based off of the selection in B2 in Column C is a dropdown withIndirect($B,$B2) to select from the subcategory list<br />
<br />
the first cell works but if I copy down the data validation list &nbsp;to the other cells in the column it does not change the indirect to point to the new row, it keeps the columns with the category still pointing at whatever is selected in A2 instead of incrementing to what is selected in &nbsp;A3,A4 ect...<br />
<br />
is there a way to make it increment when I copy down the data validation indirect list to the other cells?
