from a data validation list. Perhaps you could use the same list in
multiple columns, and allow users to select one in each column.

Thank you. So other than programming it in with virtual basic, there's no

I am trying to set up dropdown lists in MS Excel using the data validation
function. Is there a way that I can set up the list so that the user is able
to chose more than 1 choice from my list? You see this on websites often.
