How to create dropdown menu in excel

RE: Drop down menus

Hi Sana,

Thank you for the forum question.

Dropdown menus are created by setup up data validation.

You can type the list or you can use a range in which you have the options you want on you dropdown.

1 select the cell or range where you want to use the list.
2 Go to the Data tab on the ribbon. Click Data Validation in the Data Tools group.

3 In the Data Validation dialog box select List from the Allow list.
4 Click inside the Source: box.
5 Type the option separated by a comma (January,February,March) or select a range in you sheet with the option you want to select from the dropdown.
6 Click OK

I hope this can help you to create dropdown menus.



Kind regards

Excel tip:

Manually rotating a 3D chart

To manually rotate a 3D chart;
Select the chart (edit mode) and click on one corner of the chart display area. A selection border will appear, using the left mouse button on one of the chart's "corners" (mouse pointer changes to a cross) drag the image which becomes a line representation of the chart (as you begin to drag) and rotate the chart to a view of your choice.
If you dont get it right first time, dont worry, the manoeuver is a little bit tricky.
