Point, Click and select from a menu/list...
 

I am fine with just pointers where to start to look and learn how to do
this.

In some excel documents I downloaded I have seen point-n-click
drop-down-menues. It can be such simple as:

[___Yes/No____ ] <- Click, then select options from the list that falls
down.
[Yes____] (returns TRUE)
[No_____] (returns FALSE)

Or
_[Select_your_fruit]_ <- Click, then select options from the list that
falls down.
[Orange_______] (returns value = 1)
[Apple________] (returns value = 2)
[Pinapple______] (returns value = 45)

If someone can just tell me what this function is called I will be able
to use the web for more info how to do it.

Help anyone?
