BUG? : data validation in-cell drop down list is not displaying
Hello,
I use data validation tool the basic way, LIST setting as validation criteria and SOURCE range in the same worksheet. I do not use any static or dynamic named ranges. The problem is that no dropdown list is displaying anymore. I correctly have the data validation message in my cell in case I input wrong data which is not in my SOURCE range, but I do not see any more the drop down list when I select the cell... Of course the IN CELL DROPDOWN option is ticked ! But it seems not to work anymore :( It comes from this workbook only, because it works properly and as usual in a new one. I compared the Options settings, view settings, tried to lock/unlock all cells and already restarted the CPU but nothing...I must have missed something ! Please help ! Is it a known bug, or just an option to tick I missed ? Thx |

BUG? : data validation in-cell drop down list is not displaying
Hi
There is no bug that I am aware of. Are you absolutely sure that the range you have given for the List, is the range than contains the List values? -- Regards Roger Govier "Patachoup" wrote in message ...

BUG? : data validation in-cell drop down list is not displayin
Hello Roger,
Yes of course it contains the list values !!! I am very used to Excel it and this is the very first time that happens to me. Ant that can't be that because even with a blank range selected, a single row in cell drop down list appears ;-) That has only been happening in this sheet, others workbooks and worksheets, even in the same or a different Excel process, work perfectly ! So really believe meit seems to be much more subtle ;-) Thx for your enquiry "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi There is no bug that I am aware of.

BUG? : data validation in-cell drop down list is not displaying
Are you using xl97?
Do you have windows|freeze panes turned on? Is the cell with data|Validation in the top frozen pane? If all 3 are true, then this is a bug (IIRC) that was fixed in xl2k. The easiest work-around is to remove the freeze panes. Patachoup wrote: Hello, I use data validation tool the basic way, LIST setting as validation criteria and SOURCE range in the same worksheet.

Another possibility.
<Tools <Option <View tab, Under "Objects" ... See if "Hide All" *IS* checked. If it is, just click on either one of the other 2 choices. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

You haven't commented on Dave's suggestion.
Do you have XL97? It's really best to respond to *all* suggestions, which does eliminate variables and helps lessen the guessing probabilities. -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Patachoup" wrote in message ... hello Ragdyer, Thanks for your suggestion, but it is not that...I really think I have a bug in this sheet :( Please do not hesitate to makes any other suggestion :) Thx ;-) "Ragdyer" wrote: Another possibility. <Tools <Option <View tab, Under "Objects" ...

Is there a possibility that there is some code in this sheet that could
inadvertently be doing this? -- Regards, RD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Patachoup" wrote in message ... hello, I use Excel 2002 SP3 and my computer is fully updated (OS & Office) ++ "Dave Peterson" wrote: Are you using xl97?

BUG? : data validation in-cell drop down list is not displayin
Hello again,
Of course no, there is no code, no very-hidden items or anything else. For instance if I copy and paste the full content of this sheet into a new one, that works perfectly. I just never saw that before and I expect it is a bug :) I am just looking for people experiencing this issue ;-) Thanks for all your answers...the mystery remains unsolved ;-) ++ |
