Default create list to enter data in cell

Thank you all I have set up my INVENTORY SHEET. I have just one more
question I would like to enter all data just using the mouse. How do I set
up a data validation list to have a number layout so I can punch in 100.00
or 99-65 (just examples)?

Just an added note.

Excel has this built-in if you already have a list of items in a colulmn.

Right-click on the cell and "Pick from list"

You will have a choice of unique pre-entered items to select from.
