🔥 Learn Excel in just 2 hours: kevinstratvert.thinkific.com
Learn how to create drop down lists in Excel in this step-by-step tutorial. By using drop-down lists, you can help people work more efficiently in worksheets by allowing people to pick an item from a list that you create.
In this video, I show you how to create a pre-defined drop-down list and a drop-down list based on another table. Additionally, I show you how to show an input message to provide users with a tool tip. Lastly, I also show how to display a warning message when users enter an incorrect value.
As full-disclosure, I work at Microsoft as a full-time employee.

    Great job explaining the drop down list. How can you use the drop down list to bring in additional columns from the list. Example: The drop down list contain various fruits. When you select a fruit, the related unit price of that fruit also populates the table. Then, you can enter the quantity and use a formula to get the extended price. Similar to an invoice.

    Excellent Tutorial Kevin, saved me a lot of time and headaches! The only issue that I am having is when I add additional content to the tables they are not showing in the drop downs even though they are showing as part of the table, the data validation is limiting to my original table. I am and absolute novice so if anyone reads this and knows what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate a hand!

    Honestly i thought it was more complicated than this!!! I've always avoided working with excel (or doing stuff manually with no formulas etc) coz some instructions or videos are so vague or poorly made respectively. Ill be checking out later "pivot tables" if you have a video on that. I am sooo subcribing to learn more tricks. PS: This is the longest comment i've ever made on YT.
