Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can offer advice.
I would like to know if there are any alternatives to drop down menus for a shared workbook. Something where only a predetermined list of options can be entered into each column.
The reason is that I wanted to make a database of clients and originally intended to have a number of fields with drop down menus to describe details relating to them. The workbook needs to be shared so that multiple people can enter details in different fields. I only realised at the end that data validation is greyd out.
If was thinking that the worst case scenario could be that I enter a formula which would display an error of one of the cells in a row did not equal one of the predetermined choices. Is this the best solution or can anyone help me improve on it?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Josh
