Hello

I am creating a file where I want to set up a data validation list. So i was able to create the drop down list that represents a bunch of names in a certain format. in the list there is the option to select "Other". when the user selected "other" i want a input box to pop up that will allow the user to input some other value and than put it in the text box.

Is that possible?
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
Something like:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$CP$3" And Target = "other" Then
inbx = InputBox("Define other")
End If
End Sub

You can set up the DD to allow "non-listed" entries. In the Error Alert tab, select Info or warning, you will be allowed to enter anything you want
