Reference the second row in named table for data validation

问题

I have a named table in excel called "FINAL". I would like to create the drop down list from the second row of the table. I know that we can use =FINAL[#Headers] to create a list from the headers, but I need to create it from the second row in the table. of course I need it to be dynamic and use the table name since the table is going to change.

THanks

Step1:

Add named range myList with formula: =INDEX(FINAL[#Data],2,0)

Select any cell and add data validation with Source: =myList

I know you have found a solution, but I would recommend using the Indirect function instead of creating an unnecessary named range.

You can't reference a table directly by name within the data validation formulas, but you can within the Indirect function, such as:

=INDEX(INDIRECT("FINAL[#Data]"),2,0)

This would provide you with the same list but without the need for a named range.
