I want to make a spreadsheet that has a cell that has a little
pulldown list arrow on the side of the cell, so that when you click
the arrow, you see a list of things you can choose that populates
the cell. I'm not a "strong" spreadsheet user, so when I'm looking
at the help file I'm not sure what all the references are to this
form and that data filter, etc.
If I understand you correctly, try this:
o Select the cell or region to which you want this to apply.
o Go to Data | Validity... | Criteria.
o For Allow, select List from the drop-down list.
o Ensure that "Show selection list" is ticked.
o Against Entries, enter your list of permissible values.
You can achieve additional effects on the other tabs of the Validity
dialogue, notably on Error Alert.
I trust this helps.
