I recently had all my dropdown arrows disappear from my Data Validation cells in Excel 2007. I tried going into the Excel Options-Advanced-Show All objects, but this did not work. I also tried enabling/disabling the "In-cell dropdown" command in the Data Validation itself but to no avail.

Any other workarounds to restore the arrow and make it visible? I would post a screen capture but I'm not allowed to on this forum (don't know why)....

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.

It sounds like the data validation list is no longer there. click on the cell where the dropdown list is supposed to be, goto DATA/Data Validation/Data Validation and see if the list is still there but perhaps with #REF errors of something.
