How do you create drop down options on templates?

RE: Templates

Hi Michelle, Thank you for your post, In answer to your question;
1. Select the cell into which you wish the data to be entered from your drop down option.
2. Menu command Data, Validation
3. In the dialog box that opens, click the drop down for Allow, and choose List, in the Source Text box, type your list of options separating each one with a comma (,). Alternatively you could use the cell references of an existing list; ie A1:A10, however if the list is deleted or edited in any way this will affect the drop down options on your spreadsheet. Finally save your workbook as an Excel Template .pot. I hope that helps, regards Pete

Excel tip:

Formula for last day of month

In some cases it is necessary to find the last day of a month for a given date. If you use the following formula, you can achieve this, ie; if you have a column of dates, use this formula to find the end of month for each day by using the fill handle. The formula is as follows, and assumes in this example that the first date in question is in cell C5, in any other cell type; =DATE(YEAR(C5),MONTH(C5)+1,1)-1
