Drop Down List
I've created drop down lists using data validation and a silly but annoying
thing is that when I click a cell to drop down the list, the list scroll bar is at the bottom. This is counter-intuitive--you would expect to find yourself at the top of the alpha list, not at the bottom of it. So I find myself scrolling to the top of the list (alpha order)...an extra step. What am I missing? TIA, Karen |
Drop Down List
The drop down list automatically scrolls to the selection that appears in
the cell. If the selection cell is empty and you have empty cells at the bottom of your list source then that's what happens. Define the source to exclude any empty cells at the bottom of the source. Or, if you want the empty cells for some reason, put them at the top of the source. If you're using a dynamic range source then it might be calculating the incorrect size of the range and including empty cells at the end. Biff "Karen" wrote in message ...
