To make a dropdown first highlight the list you wish and give it a name (anthing you want eg listX). Do this by going Insert>name>create. After doing this go to the cell where you wish for the dropdown list to appear, and go Data>Validation. When the box comes up, in the box next to "allow:" secect "list". In the box below that says "source" type "=(your list name). For example "=ListX" Your dropdown is then complete, so click ok. hope this helps.

beefymeYou could add a data validation list to the cells in the column. There
are instructions in Excel's help, and here:
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html
Although data validation doesn't support autocomplete, there's a sample
file here that provides a combobox from which you can select one of the
values from the data validation list. In the combobox, you can enable
autocomplete:

Under 'Data Validation', look for 'Data Validation Combobox'

ALT-TAB not working with excel 2000
My problem is, as in the subject, that pressing ALT-TAB to switch among the files opened in Excel 2000 doesn't work anymore. I tried to re-install withouth success. I can only use CTRL-TAB because you haven't multiple sessions running (as usual in Excel 2000) but only one task of Excel. So, it's impossible to use ALT-TAB. Unfortunately, CTRL-TAB isn't useful as ALT-TAB because you can't switch from the current worksheet and the last used but you have to pass cyclicly through the files opened... It seems to be related to the fact that the same worksheets had been opened...

excel should make it easier to have a 1 to 1 plot area in chart
Sometimes I would like the plot area to have a 1 to 1 ratio, so each little square of the gridlines are a square. ie, the y- axis could be 10, the x- axis could be 10, so the plot area would be square, or the y- axis could go from -10 to 10, with the same x- axis, so the plot area would have twice the y- axis than the x- axis.
