Consider having a list – Ferrari, Mclaren, Red Bull on A2, A5, A8 cells, if i make a name for the list – “F1”, and put it in data validation it pops up an error – 

"The list source must be a delimited list, or reference to single row or column".

Is there any workaround?

    AFAIK the only way is to convert your range of cells to a delimited string… 

    activecell.Validation.Add xlValidateList,,,Join(array([a2],[a5],[a8]),",")

    The list separators are dependent on your locale settings, comma or semicolon (File > Options > Advanced > Use system separators)
