I need help to create a drop down box in a cell. The information I want to be available in the drop down box is in a range of cells located in the same worksheet.
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Sounds like you could use Data Validation for this. Select the cells you want to appear as entries in the drop-down box and click on insert-name-define and type in a name in the top box (eg myList). Select the cell or cells that you want the drop-down box to appear in and click on Data-Validation. Change the allow box to List and in the Source box at the bottom type in

=myList

then just click on OK and you're sorted.
