My Excel drop-down list eliminates from list options chosen. Help
I set up a drop-down list for my spreadsheet with the options "Fax, Mail,
Pick-up, Interoffice". When I pick fax, the next block in that column only gives me the options, "Mail, Pick-up, Interoffice". If I pick one of those three, the next block has two options. I want to be able to reuse the options multiple times. I selected the range G3-G40, went under the Data menu, picked Validation, picked List from the Allow drop-down box, and entered "=(J2-J5)" in the Source text box. What am I doing wrong? |

Source should be of the form "=$j$2:$j$5" "Sybil" wrote: I set up a drop-down list for my spreadsheet with the options "Fax, Mail, Pick-up, Interoffice".
