I've toyed with this, but keep getting a 'circular argument' warning. Even after the cell is populated with, say 0.02, I'd like the drop-down list to still exist and allow the user to make a different selection.
I have created my drop-down list using the data validation within excel.

Hi,
What do you gain by using the same cell?
I believe (not tested) there would be a way using VBA, but see little merit in the exercise.
