Click “OK” to remove the drop-down list and restore the cell to its default format.
The options on the Data Validation dialog box are reset to their defaults. If you decide you want to remove the drop-down list from the cell, open the Data Validation dialog box as described earlier and click the “Clear All” button, which is available no matter which tab is selected on the dialog box. The down arrow button only displays when the cell is selected.Ĭlick the down arrow button to drop down the list of options and select one. If you added an input message, it displays below the cell. When the cell containing the drop-down list is selected, you’ll see a down arrow button to the right of the cell. Enter a Title and an Input message and then click the “OK” button. Make sure the “Show input message when the cell is selected” box is checked. To do this, click the “Input Message” tab on the Data Validation dialog box. You can add a popup message that displays when the cell containing the drop-down list is selected. If you want to require the user to select an option from the drop-down list, uncheck the Ignore blank check box.
This means that the user can select the cell and then deselect the cell without selecting an item. The “Ignore blank” check box is checked by default. Make sure the “In-cell dropdown” box is checked. Enter =Age in the “Source” box (if you named your cell range something else, replace “Age” with that name). Now, we’re going to use the name we assigned to the range of cells containing the options for our drop-down list. On the Settings tab, select “List” from the Allow drop-down list (see, drop-down lists are everywhere!). In the Data Tools section of the Data tab, click the “Data Validation” button. Now, select the cell into which you want to add a drop-down list and click the “Data” tab.
