This is probably a lot easier than I'm making it, but I'm lost!
I've created a multi-sheet workbook in Excel 2007 to keep track of our DVDs, audio CDs, video games, etc. Each sheet is devoted to a specific media type. I'm about to start entering our audio CDs, and here's what I would like to accomplish: First field: Artist Name Second field: Name of album/CD Third field: A dropdown list of the tracks on that CD. Everything I've seen/read about creating combo boxes/dropdown boxes indicate I have to enter the information that I want to appear in the dropdown somewhere else in my spreadsheet, which to me seems to defeat the purpose of what I'm attempting to accomplish. I don't want this dropdown to be 'selectable' as one would normally expect from a dropdown, meaning this isn't a form someone is going to be choosing an option from via the dropdown, I just want a dropdown of static information so if, let's say, I'm looking for a specific song by a specific artist, I can find it easily. I don't need this information to be searchable; however, if it ends up that way that's obviously fine and would be nice, but just not mandatory. Is what I want to do possible? Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. I used to work for Microsoft but I never dealt with Excel much and I'm really clueless on the development side! I did end-user support in operating systems and networks! Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide. Just remember, I'm not a programmer or developer, so any help needs to be "dumbed down" for a network gal who doesn't know the first thing about programming!! Feel free to email me: - thanks again!
