Default Dropdown menu

I want to creat a dropdown menu that will display in the cell on part of what
is shown on the dropdown menu. For example, if the dropdown menu item is
"A101 - plan & prepare for", and want the cell to display "A101". Is that
even possible? If so, how?
Thanks.

Thanks. But I guess I'm not smart enough to figure that out. Do you have an
easier explanation?
