I'm trying to do a data validation list, and in excel I can't specify the source from another Worksheet. Is there a way to do it in Excel, or if no in VBA?

If you use a range you can access it for data validation from any sheet

I don't understand.
When I specify in the source: =Sheet2!$A$1:Sheet2!$A$7, I get the error message: "You may not use references to other worksheets or workbooks for Data Validation criteria"

Post a workbook with sample data and layout if you want a quicker solution.

You can also use indirect to use a list from a different sheet. Try using this for your data validation:
=INDIRECT("Sheet2!A1:A10")
