I want to use a list data validation for some cells so I dont have to type in common values.

BUT... I dont want that list to be the ONLY data allowed. I want to allow the user to type in whatever they want.

I just want the list for convenience to enter common choices, but I dont want those to be the only choices.

Is it possible to do this?
