Default Shortcut key for dropdown list?

Hi,

Just wondering of there is a default keyboard shortcut key combination that
will make a cell that has data validation perform the dropdown for me. To
clarify, I'm talking about a keyboard way to push the little dropdown arrow
that displays when a cell that has validation list. I do not want to keep
grabbing the mouse just to click that dropdown arrow, just to get the list to
dropdown so I can make a selection (with the arrow keys of course).

I look forward to your reply.

Regards,
Brcobrem

Try this:

Hold down the [alt] key and press the DOWN arrow

Does that help?
