so need bit of roundabout: can download illustration sheet here follow steps. here screenshot: first:use helper column c, , concatenate values in a , b using next formyla:
=if(isblank(b2:b999),"",concatenate(a2," - ",b2))
drag , fill downwards until cell want, in illustration did until cell c99, cells in column b empty, blank cell in column c. second: create name in name manager (i named trimmedlist in example) , inquire refer next formula, re-create , paste in refers to:
=example!$c$2:index(example!$c$2:$c$99;countif(example!$c$2:$c$99;"?*"))
by way, sheet's name example. press ok , close name manager. third: select e2:e100 , click on info validation, allow list , re-create , paste next in source, click ok:
=trimmedlist
remember our name named trimmedlist. there go! can manually add together new entries , seek drop downwards menu! see values , not blanks.
