i would like to perform the following in Excel:
Data > Validation > Data Validation > Allow List > Data
in Data field i would like to create a list of values to pick values of other cells. for example, A1, B2, C3, etc. however, this does not work: =A1,=B2,=C3, ... i know, however, a range works such as =A1:A10. but i would like to pick random values from other cells not a range: =A1,=A3,=A5, ... (this never works!). P.S.: Of course an easy/typical application of a list is a simple string of values: apples,oranges,grapes,bananas, ... but I would like to pick values of other random cells.
