Hi

That is the behaviour with Data Validation, the dropdown only appears in the
Active cell.
Debra Dalgleish has information on her site and suggested workarounds.

Hi all,

Is there a way to have the arrows for validation lists be made to be
always
visible? The arrow is only visible if a user clicks on the validation
cell.

Thanks!
