Use a named range to define your list.

You can put the list(s) on a worksheet and even hide the worksheet when
you're done if you like.

Any help is appreciated.
Have many pages to workbook. TIME and SPOT are frequent elements in each
page - want to create 2 drop down lists - if entering time - can be
selected
from drop down - if the cell is spot - select from SPOT list - how can I
simply have 2 different lists to select from in the same worksheet and use
in
the entire workbook?
thanks in advance
