Default Macros

I am trying to create a labor tracking timesheet. I would like to boxes that
you can click and drop down with certain information for you to pick from.
How do I do this? For example one box I need is for Codes and with that box
I would like to be able to pick between 4 different things. Then I would
like for the item I picked to automatically drop into the next available line
in excel.

Thanks

You don't need macros.

You can do this with Data Validation dropdowns and a VLOOKUP formula.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for more info on both.
