How do you create drop down lists in Excel?

RE: Drop down lists

Hi Karen,

Thanks for your question.

In order to create a drop down list:

    1. Select DATA menu > Validation
    2. In SETTINGS tab > choose under ALLOW > LIST
    3-1. In SOURCE box, type in your list of items with a comma as separator
    3-2. You can also select an exisiting list on the same worksheet
    4. Finally, press OK to confirm. You should see a drop down button to show the list

Excel tip:

Calculate difference between two times

For presenting the result in the standard time format (hours : minutes : seconds . Use the subtraction operator (-) to find the difference between times, and the TEXT function to format the returned value to text in a specific number format.

Hours never exceed 24, minutes never exceed 60, and seconds never exceed 60.

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h")
Hours between two times (4)

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm")
Hours and minutes between two times (4:55)

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm:ss")
Hours and seconds between two times (4:55:00)

Where B2 and A2 must hold the end time and start time respectively formatted as a time format
