Don C asked:


I would like to see the drop-down data validation list expand with new entries or contract after entries are deleted from the range. Is this possible?

1boredguy asked:


I have a cell with data validation. It has a list of items (the pull down list from data validation): “Front”, “Back”. Is it possible to prevent the user from typing anything in this cell, and just allow the user to select from the list?

Some users might mistype front and back… or type something totally different.

Thanks!
I want to prevent users typing in the cell AT ALL, as if it’s locked, but still allow changing it with the list pull down menu. Thanks!
