Sometimes you want someone to select only from a list that you offer in your worksheet. This is very easy to do in MS Excel 2007.

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Select row or column cells you will not be using.
     
  2. Place one list item in each cell.
     
  3. Where you would like the drop-down list to appear, highlight the cells -- they need not be contiguous.
     
  4. Click on Data | Validation.
     
  5. Under Allow, select List.
     
  6. Check In-cell dropdown.
     
  7. Left-Click the Source box and highlight the cells containing your list.
     
  8. Click OK.

Not difficult at all!
