Default How do i insert drop down menu using multiple cells.

In an excel sheet i want to insert a drop down menu at the top of the sheet
with the alphabet in it, so, when i click on a letter in the drop down menu
it will hi-light the same letter that's in the list on the sheet. How do i do
it?
Any help would be great!

You'll need to use data validation and maybe a Worksheet_Change event.

That should get you started.

Try Data validation and Conditional Formatting

Have you tried to use the DataAutoFilter option? If you click on the top of
the Column (say A for example) the click on DataAutoFilter it will give you
a drop down list of everything in that column so you can select your
information.
If you click on the number of the row then use DataAutoFilter it will put
a drop down arrow on top of each column.
