Data Validation - Allow List - In-cell Dropdown not showing up
This is in a MS Office 97 Excel Workbook, although I have selected data
validation for a cell the in-cell dropdown is not showing up. Of course some silly person would tell me that I don't have the In-cell Dropdown checkbox selected . . . got it smart guy. It is still not working. I will give you the current setup: Cell L4 has the current data validation: Allow: List Source: =$B$54:$B$65 Ignore blank - selected In-cell Dropdown - selected Cells B54:B65 January February March . . . etc. Anyone have any ideas? |

Are you using windows|freeze panes?
Is your cell with Data|validation above that line? If yes, move the cell or remove the data|validation. It's a bug in xl97, fixed in xl2k.

I think Dave meant,... "or remove the freeze panes"
You could use WindowSplit instead Dave Peterson wrote: Are you using windows|freeze panes? Is your cell with Data|validation above that line? If yes, move the cell or remove the data|validation.

Hi Debra
this is one of the nice things with NG :-) You have to constantly adapt your filters :-( On a sidenote: though in english NG it's o.k. to use false email addresses in most German NGs (like the German Excel NG) this is considered against the rules (same is true for not using real names) "Debra Dalgleish" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

That's why I don't post in the German newsgroups!
And even with a munged address, I need MailWasher to filter all the messages that arrive.
