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:

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

Not difficult at all!
