How do you create a drop-down menu in an Excel spreadsheet? Simplify data entry and clean up problem columns by restricting what your users can put into a cell. Using Data Validation, you can either enter a list of possible selections, or you can reference a list you've created for other purposes.

In this video, Neil Malek from Knack Training demonstrates how to lock down the possible selections for a given cell or set of cells with Data Validation.
