Data Validation - Drop Down Box
 
Can a drop down box be created to allow for multiple selections within the
list.
Example: Sales, Finance, HR, R&D, Purchasing. Can Sales, HR and Purchasing
be selected.

If Yes, how do I create.

Thanks

You could use event code to do the job.

Debra Dalgleish has a sample workbook download with code.
