RE: How do I create drop-down lists in excell spreadsheets?

Hello Alistair

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

To create dropdown lists, use data validation.

1. Select the cells to contain the dropdown list.
2. Go to Data - Validation
3. Select List
4. Enter each list item in the blank area near the bottom of the dialogue box, separated by commas, e.g. Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday etc.
5. Click OK.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Closing Multiple Workbooks quickly

When you have several workbooks open in Excel and want to just close them all at once:

1) Hold down the SHIFT key before selecting the File menu.

2) Once in File menu release SHIFT key and select Close All option.

3) All your files will close. If files require saving Excel will ask if you want to save the changes.
