Default DATA VALIDATION with LEFT function

I would like to use a data validation €“ List and enter only the first
character from that list.
For example my list is below and named €œTypes€

C - Construction
D €“ Demolition
E €“ Equipment Installation
R €“ Repair

The cell to be filled only needs the first letter not the whole content of
the list.
I try to use LEFT function in the Validation Source and I can not make it
work with
The name source €œ=Left(=Types,1)€
Can someone help or suggest a different way use the data validation, like
use two columns display the description in one and enter data from the other.

Thanks.
