drop down list
I have inherited a speedsheet where the whole first row, every column has a
drop down list. Even if i add a try to inserta column it has a drop down list automatically in the first row. I want to either edit it and get rid of it, or be able to insert a column without the dropdown. Any thoughts? |

drop down list
What you have is "Autofilter" turned on. To remove it, simply be in any cell
of a column with the drop down lists; from the DATA menu, choose FILTER then AUTOFILTER. This will remove the filter and drop downs for you.

drop down list
Insert the column then select cell 1 of that column.
DataValidationClear All DO NOT checkmark "apply these changes to all cells with the same settiings" Or select a blank column outside the range. Hold SHIFT key and hover mouse cursor below header to get a 4-headed cross. Drag across to insert point and drop. This column will not have the DV dropdown.

Doh! Assumed the dropdowns were DV lists.
See Bob's reply. Gord On Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:01:51 -0700, Gord Dibben <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote: Insert the column then select cell 1 of that column.
