How to: Create a drop-down list in Microsoft Excel<br />

Set the contents of list<br />

The first thing you’ll need to<br />

do is open up a new Excel<br />

worksheet. In the left-most<br />

column enter the various<br />

contents you want to appear in<br />

your list. Each entry needs to<br />

occupy one cell, have no blank<br />

cells between them, and all must<br />

reside in the same column.<br />

When you’ve assembled<br />

2<br />

your list, highlight all of the<br />

entries and right-click on them.<br />

From the menu that appears<br />

select Define Name.<br />

This brings up a window with<br />

3<br />

the heading New Name. In<br />

the Name field enter a title for your<br />

drop-down list, being sure not to<br />

include any spaces. Now click OK.<br />
