OFFSET Formula Error

Hi,

 

When typing the formula =OFFSET(PictureTable,,,,1) into the data validation pop-up formula box I get the formula error pop-up. 

 

Does anyone know why?

    Unfortunately, you cannot use a table name in a data validation formula.

    Create a defined name, for example PictureTable1, that refers to =PictureTable.

    You can then use  =OFFSET(PictureTable1,,,,1)  in your data validation formula.
