![]() The source data of club names will come from another sheet (Source) within this workbook. We want columns B and C on the Games worksheet to display a drop down list of all the clubs within the league. To make this easier to follow, we’ll use the OFFSET function to create a dynamic drop down list in the following example. If omitted, the width of reference is used. Width - The number of columns that the result should contain.If omitted, the height of reference is used. Height - The number of rows that the result should contain.As well as rows, cols can be positive (to the right of the starting reference) or negative (to the left of the starting reference). Cols - The number of columns you want the formula to move from the starting point.In the case of a negative number, it goes upward from the starting reference. If rows is a positive number, the formula moves downward from the starting reference. Rows - This is the number of rows (down or up) to move from the starting point.Reference - This is a cell or range of cells (adjacent) from which you can base the offset.The first three arguments are required and the last two are optional. The syntax of the OFFSET function is: = OFFSET (reference, rows, cols, , ) You can also use the OFFSET formula to create dynamic drop down lists, which automatically update when items are added to the end of the list. Method 3 - OFFSET formula (dynamic drop down lists) Each item listed is shown in a different line in the drop down menu. This will create a drop down list in the selected cell(s). In the ‘Source’ field, enter the range which contains the list of values to be used as your drop down list, or you can just click inside the ‘Source’ field and select the cells on the Source worksheet.Select ‘List’ as the Validation criteria.Next, select the cell or range of cells where you want to create the drop down list.We’ve entered the source data in cells A2 to A7 on another worksheet named Source within this same workbook. ![]()
