list to a spreadsheet<br />

Open up an existing, or new,<br />

worksheet into which you<br />

want to place the drop-down list.<br />

Highlight the cell where the list<br />

needs to appear, then go up to the<br />

menu bar at the top of the page<br />

and select Data>Data Validation.<br />

In the box that appears you’ll<br />

5<br />

see three tabs – Settings,<br />

Input Message, and Error Alert –<br />

which we’ll go through one by one.<br />

The Settings tab will open<br />

by default and in here you’ll<br />

see two drop-down menus. Click<br />

on the Allow menu then select List.<br />

A new option will now appear at<br />

the bottom of the window, entitled<br />

Source. Click on this and then enter<br />

an ‘=’ sign followed immediately by<br />

the name of your list.<br />
