I want to create a pull down menu list so I can choose
the cell value picking from the list. I have create a list with a code and the the catagory description. I want the pull down menu to have the format "CODE: DESCRIPTION" but on place the Code in the cell. Is there a way to do this in VBA. I know in excel I can easily create the pulldown method but I don't think it accommodates my format. Thanks for your help |

CELL drop down menu
I've done this by using two cells. The first includes a drop down data
validation that references a list that concantenates a product code and a product names. The cell with the validation might be cell "A1" and an entry might look like " P03 - Blue Widgets". The second cell includes the product code from the first cell. A formula might be something like = left(A1,find("-",A1)-2). This would result in "P03" being placed into the second cell. - John Michl "BrianB" wrote in message om...
