I'm working on a project where I have a listbox that is populated with values. I'm probably doing something stupid, but how do I make the list box disappear when the value is double clicked and still have that value remain in the cell?

Thanks

If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Hi,

By the sounds of it, you should look into Data Validation based on using a list and not an actual listbox.

When you have a Data validation list in a cell, the cell appears normal until the user clicks on it, then the dropdown appears. Once the selction is made, the dropdown goes away until the cell is clicked again.

Awesome, that is exactly what I was looking for! Had no idea how data validation actually worked...that was one lesson I think I missed.
