Is it possible to have a drop down menu in an excel
spreadsheet.

What I am doing is listing products on a spreadsheet, but
the color column, I want to pick from a list of colors,
rather than type each color each time. I need the same
type of functionality that you would see on a web page
asking for what state you live in, where you can choose
from all 50 states.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Either type in the list of colors with a comma between each or point to a list
range on the sheet.

If list range is on another sheet, you must name the range then refer to the
named range.
