Default Insert drop-down into a cell?

I need to have my cell be a drop-down menu itself, and have the options
reference a list in another sheet in the same workbook. I have a workbook in
which it is done, but I can't figure out how they did it. I can't put a combo
box over the cell, because then my vlookup formulas won't work when the value
is selected.

On the sheet where you want the drop-down, define a name as the item list in
the other sheet (Insert Name Define). Then use that defined name as the
list in the dropdown.

Under the Data menu is the Validation option. In there, select List and
point to the list on the other page.
