How do I put several drop down lists in a single text box on a worksheet?

why do you need to do this? usually you would put a Frame around other
controls but it seems strange putting listboxes in a Textbox?

Maybe you are thinking of a UserForm as a container for the listboxes.
UserForms are created in the VB Editor using Insert form the menu bar. See
VBA help topic Creating a UserForm.

Hello Ed,

According to the description, you are look for a TextBox control to which a
dropdownlist is attached. Users can either input texts directly into the
textbox, or select a value from the dropdownlist. Am I right?

In UserForm, I think the control "ComboBox" will fit your request. Please
open you VBE in Excel (Alt+F11), right click the VBA
project-Insert-UserForm, then drag a ComboBox from the Toolbox to the
form.

Here is a more detailed list of how to use userforms in VBA for Excel:

If you have any other concern or need anything else, please feel free to
let me know.
