Resetting multiple cells containing drop-down lists
F2 puts you into Edit mode for the active cell.
CTRL + Enter repeats this editing in each cell in the selection.
You could do same thing by selecting the cells then mouse-click in the
Formula Bar then CTRL + Enter.

Thanks. I looked in the Help and found Ctrl-Enter for repeating the value of
the current cell, but it didn't mention F2, and I find that Ctrl-Enter
doesn't work without F2. I searched the help page but didn't get a clear idea
of what F2 does in this case, or why it wasn't mentioned. Any further
explanation appreciated.

Select "Required" in top dropdown cell.
Select that cell and all other dropdown cells in the column.
F2 then CTRL + Enter

you can try it.) The obvious answer is "write a macro", but I'm wondering if
there's a built-in way to do this. Thanks.
