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)....

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest

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.
