Rob,

please check your system date - you seem to be a day ahead of the rest of

What you can do is put a ',",^ etc as the first option - so your list is
',A,B,C,D. The first option shows up as ' but when chosen is a blank cell
(well essentially...)

Good thoughts. I was aware of using separate lists, but for this sheet I
wanted to define the list as users may add or delete rows. Just cannot
figure
out how to add a blank option this way.....

I usualy have all my lists on another page. select the range and name

and list and =rangename

I did see where when you do a data / validation and put a blank then
comma
then the list, it does not show the blank. above will work or put a "."
first?

Using the list option, I have six entries that are separated by commas
entered in the data validation source box. These work fine. How to I
add a
blank space as the first choice on the dropdown list?

Thanks
