Date Dropdown Question
I'd like to create a dropdown where the user selects a date. However, I'd
rather not use data validation. Data validation requires that I have a column somewhere filled with dates. I'd like the dropdown to have those dates going backward from today's dates - forward dates are not allowed. Thoughts? |

Date Dropdown Question
Hi
Why can't the Validation list have dates going backwards? In cell A1 =Today() In A2 =A1-1 Copy down for as many dates as you want in your validation range. -- Regards Roger Govier "Paperback Writer" wrote in message ...

There are instructions here for adding the Generate GetPivotData button
to a toolbar, and toggling the feature on and off: http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot06.html Paperback Writer wrote: I'd like to create a dropdown where the user selects a date.
