careless_hxuk Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'm using an excel list (or table in 2007), and I want one of the columns to have a drop-down list of whatever is in the column, or to be able to enter a value as text. I have tried using the data validation tool, but this produces a list full of duplicates (the column is for 'department' so not every entry will be unique). So basically if the table looked like this:1 2Name DepartmentJeff ITBob ITBill EnglishSteve BusinessDave BusinessPaul MathsThen the drop-down list for department would look like this:ITEnglishBusinessMathsWhereas with the validation tool it creates two entries for IT and Business, which would be no good.Is there an easy way to do this?
