As a teacher i want to insert class data from a drop down list eg class names of class1 class2. How is the easiest way other than right clicking on the list and selcting pick from list?
 

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Do you mean you want the drop down list in a cell? If so, write your list in some part of the worksheet, then click on the cell you want the list to appear in.

Now click DATA>VALIDATION and you'll see a field with a dropdown called Allow:

Pick LIST from this and then click in the SOURCE field, then click onto your sheet and highlight the list you wrote. Then press Enter and OK.

Now every time you click on the cell you validated, it'll have a drop down list
