How to edit drop down list source
 

Hello,
My predecessor made a Timesheet form. I have been able to add information by
going through datavalidationinput message, but I am not sure how to access
the data that actually impacts calculations. I can see the source (that
begins with =, but I am not sure where it is located or how to edit it).

Any help would be great!

Your source list could be a named range on another worksheet or in a hidden
range of the worksheet you are on.

Rather than make some guesses, go to Debra Dalgleish's site for info and
instructions.

How to edit drop down list source
 

Thanks for the suggestion!
I unhid all of the sheets, looked on another tab (which only has one of the
data validation lists) and looked around the HTML/XML scripting, but can't
find where I can add a value to the existing list of values (for example, we
have H, V, S, B, P for holiday, vacation, sick, birthday, personal that
automatically inserts 8 hours into the time sheet). I want to add W for
Weather, which wasn't tough to add so that it displays in the list of
choices, but it doesn't make 8 hours appear. Instead you get an error message
that was created within the script.
