How to Update drop-down list?
OK, I've done this before but I can't update a drop-down list. If I click
all the items in the drop down list, the name shows in the source box. I want to add more items to the list. I type them in below, and then I select the old ones plus the new ones, and I type in the drop-down list name, but then it just selects the old items. How can I add new items? Also, how can I delete drop down lists I am not using anymore? I don't see any sort of drop-down list manager or anything...? Thanks. |

Stefi Thanks for the quick response - I forgot to mention I am using Excel 2007. I do not see any Validation - Select List option in the Data tab ... is it somewhere else? thanks dan "Stefi" wrote: DataValidationSelect list, and adjust Source range or Delete All! Regards, Stefi |

It is certainly somewhere else, Unfortunately I don't have XL2007, so I can't
help to find it, but if you make a search for Data validation in Help, it certainly shall explain where to find it, or if you send a new post in this forum with subject "Where is Data Validation in Excel2007?", somebody certainly will response.

Hi
For XL2007 it is Data tabData Validation. But what you really need to do is create a dynamic list for your validation range. Supposing your list is on Sheet2, column A then Formula tabDefine NameNamemyListrefers to =OFFSET(Sheet2!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet2!$A:$A)) In your DV, set the list Source=myList -- Regards Roger Govier "db" wrote in message ...

How do you make excel do this in reverse to this? I.E. add an item in the dropdown box and have that entry update the list row on the other page?
