Right, you need to put the list you want to use in the sheet somewhere. So try putting Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday in Column Z, from rows 1 - 6. Once you've done that, you go and select the cells that you want to carry the list and then click DATA > VALIDATION

Now from the little dropdown list, pick LIST. Now you should have a blank white box just underneath the list you picked LIST from. Click in it, then click back into the sheet (without clicking OK, very important!) and highlight the list you made in column Z. Once you've done this, click OK and your list should be in the cells you selected

:oops:
