Default Can I pick more than 1 entry in the validation function?

I am using the validation function for data. Using the pull down function.
In some instances, they will have to pick 2 or more answers from the list.
Right now it only lets you pick one. How do I allow it to pick 2 or more?

Hi Dora

An Excel cell can only have one "value".

Unless you have all possible answer combinations to your validation
list (e.g. "answer1 and answer2", "answer1 and answer3", "answer2 and
answer3"), you'll need to put the second answer in another cell.

Steve
