F2 and CTRL + c to copy from the formula bar.

Select another cell to get out of edit mode then re-select the original.

DataValidationAllowListSource....Ctrl + v to paste.

Let me be more clear.
In my excel file I read data from SQL server. Therefore when I get data from
server I save it in a comma delimited string as I apply this for data
validation list. All this happens in background with VBA. I don't want user
to see the data. User just see the list of choices for the given column.

If you or anyone have other suggestion will be helpful
Thanks
