No, only the active cell can display a data validation dropdown arrow.

You could use combo boxes, from the forms toolbar, or the control
toolbox, and their arrows would always be visible.

I have added a Data Validation List to my excel worksheet.
The arrow icon indicating that the cell contains a drop-down list is only
visible when a user selects the cell. I would like the arrow to be visible at
all times. Is this possible?

Thanks.
