Default Custom Drop Down Lists


Hoepfully this will be Uber qwick.

I have created myself a drop down list of possible options to enter
into a cell.

There are in total 24 options; default has see it so you can see only
the first 8 and then scroll down for to se the others. Can you change
this value of 8?

Also If you can change that can you change the size of text that
appears in the drop down list?

And if you can do that, can you use logo pictures instead of text?

Super., Thanks.

Default Custom Drop Down Lists

If you created the drop-down list using DataValidationList, the 8 lines and
the text size is default and cannot be changed.
