The method posted by Bonnie has nothing to do with Data Validation dropdowns
or Comboboxes.

Stick with Peo's suggestion.

Go to Debra Dalgleish's site for instructions on using a combobox in
conjunction with a DV list.

OMG is everyone kidding? all you have to do is click on the cell you want to
have the drop down box arrow appear then go to DATA on the menu toolbar and
click FILTER then Click AUTO FILTER thats it. also make sure u highlight the
information you want to appear in the drop down menu.

I am not sure what you mean by "Put the range with your list in the

Thanks

Office button Excel Options, make sure "Show Developer Tab" is selected.
Click the Developer tab Controls Insert Combobox from the active x
controls,
right click the drop down and select properties, in that pane that opens.
Put the range with your list in the
listfillrange and the cell you want to link to. Click the design mode button
to get out
of design mode

You can't using datavalidation, you can if you use a combobox from the
control toolbox

I have created several Drop Down boxes in a worksheet but I want to make
them
visible so people know there is a drop down box there. Right now the
arrow
doesn't show until you click on that cell. Please help I am not quite
sure
how to format it so the drop down arrow stays.
