How do I use a table in Excel as data validation for list of options in Forms?

Posted on by

Currently I manually enter data in a leads sheet in excel.  I plan on using Forms to enter data into my existing excel table.  This will be very handy while on my phone out in the field to enter any new data.  I can map what information from forms goes into which column in excel.  The problem I am having is (3) of my columns have data validation.  My data validation uses a table and the indirect function so the list is dynamic. see below process and

 

Type Alt, D, L and select list then I type "=INDIRECT("tbl_name[table_column_name]")" of the table I'm pulling the validation from.   How do I link the excel data validation list to populate the list of options in Forms?

 

Thanks, Chevychase77
