Data|validation doesn't allow you to do this.
In fact, no excel built-in control allows you to do this. Ramesh wrote: Need to create a drop down list using data validation. Both value and the format/pattern of the cell needs to be considered. Many thanks in advance -- Dave Peterson |

Hi Ramesh,
You will have to create your Drop Down list using Data Validation then Format your cells using Conditional Formatting. If the cell is A1 use the Conditional Formatting "Formula Is" Condition 1 =A1="Your Value" Format to "Your Colour" Condition 2 =A1="Your 2nd Value" Format to "Your Second Colour" and so on through all your values and colours. -- Regards Warren "Ramesh" wrote: Need to create a drop down list using data validation.
