Regarding the data validation, I have quite a long list for the user to
choose, is it possible that i saved the choices in the other worksheet?
I tried, but it does not allow me to do it.

Please kindly advice.

Hello all expert here...

I would like to know how to create a pull down in excel which limits
the
choice of the inputters?
In addition, is there any word count function that i can use to limit
the
word inputted in the text box?

Thanks much.
