I want to be able to use cell validation to attach descriptions alongside
possible cell values to help the user select the right value from a set of
possible valid answers. I am trying to resist complex macros/vba to keep the
application maintenance light.

Select the cell. then:
<Data <Validation <Input Message tab,

Type message,
Then <OK
