Creating a specific EXCEL program.

I am trying to create a simple excel programme, where in one of the cells i will have the options (list of names) to choose from once i clicking once.

I have attached an example of it, under the cell "YES/NO" once u click, a small arrow appears next to the cell, where u can choose either YES or NO from a list.

 

So i was wondering, if there is any guide i could follow in order to achieve it or if anybody can help me.

 

I relatively new in EXCEL programming, so i believe that for EXCEL Experts it wont be so difficult.

 

 

Thanking you in advance.

Elena

 

P.S. Dont forget to check the attachment with an example.

new to EXCEL programming,

hi Elena.. You need a lot of help here I feel. Your example is really all over the place. Lets take a step back, and I'd like you to summarise what you're actually trying to achieve. The kind of answer I am looking for is a one line response... something like: "I am writing a time sheet entry system" tks Nick

How?

Thank you.

 

I have managed to do what i wanted.

Found guides on net.

 

I was wondering, is it possible to delete question since i have managed it?

 

Thanks,

Elena

Dropdown list

comment removed... use Cyril's suggestion.

Suggestion.

Thanks a lot.

 

What would you suggest?

I need it for the application form.

We are using a lot of names, surnames, etc, therefore in order to avoid mistakes in spelling of this data, i prefer to make drop-down list, so i could choose the ready name out of the list.

 

 

Thanks again,

Elena
