How do I set up a drop down menu for a validation list?
I am looking to set up validation lists with data in a large excel
spreadsheet so that people can only type the values that I choose. I would although like them to be able to choose the choices that i offer from a drop down menu so all information is consistent. Each cell that I would like validated should have a little drop down arrow at the right. Any ideas on how to do this?? |

Datavalidationallowlist (then refer to the list either by putting in the
range or name it and use the name), the dropdown won't be visible until you select teh cell though. If you want that you need to use a combobox Regards, Peo Sjoblom "UisNike" wrote: I am looking to set up validation lists with data in a large excel spreadsheet so that people can only type the values that I choose.
