How can I create drop down for choosing a date?

[@KevinStratvert]

@@guytaylor8496 unfortunately you can't do it out of the box. There are third party plug ins that give you that capability.

[@ErisvaldoJunior]

Didn't work automatic input for new value

[@mdfenn]

Basically my boss thinks I’m like really talented. Nope I just pull up these videos ever time I need to do something new in excel. Thanks man!

[@veronica9896]

Same here. 😊 Kevin, you are a real life/work saver 💯♥️

[@marnonjaetolentino1825]

thats why im here

[@Hjonvard]

Great tutorial. No fluff, no annoying music, crystal clear speaking. You need to make a tutorial on making tutorials

[@barryeady2239]

Great job explaining the drop down list. How can you use the drop down list to bring in additional columns from the list. Example: The drop down list contain various fruits. When you select a fruit, the related unit price of that fruit also populates the table. Then, you can enter the quantity and use a formula to get the extended price. Similar to an invoice.

[@wangag2663]

Honestly i thought it was more complicated than this!!! I've always avoided working with excel (or doing stuff manually with no formulas etc) coz some instructions or videos are so vague or poorly made respectively. Ill be checking out later "pivot tables" if you have a video on that. I am sooo subcribing to learn more tricks. PS: This is the longest comment i've ever made on YT.

[@chidubemnnabugwu2625]

😅

[@thecatlady-n3n]

It's taken me a while but I got there in the end. You have to be careful to do the steps in order otherwise it all goes pear shaped. I do believe I've learned a new skill. Thanks Kevin.

[@Thrive2024]

Thank you so much sir Kevin, actually my teacher assigned us an assignment regarding this kind of scenario where we are needed to think a solution on how can we immediately have a list of items so we can easily input it on a cell. Fortunately I have found this video of you, You save me😢😊❤🎉 Thank you so much once again.🎉

[@gillianyao6976]

Very clear and concise, applied to my worksheet immediately! Thanks

[@bettyc931]

I have been trying to find this by reading or other videos online. You gave the clearest explanation. Thank you!!

[@adolor6570]

Thanks Kevin. I like how you get straight to the point. No long winded videos.

[@jasonchristopherson5243]

Excellent Tutorial Kevin, saved me a lot of time and headaches! The only issue that I am having is when I add additional content to the tables they are not showing in the drop downs even though they are showing as part of the table, the data validation is limiting to my original table. I am and absolute novice so if anyone reads this and knows what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate a hand!

[@RemRaye]

I'm taking a Microsoft Office class for a degree, and couldn't figure out how to create survey in Excel 365 until I found this video. Thanks so much for breaking it down into easy to repeat parts!

[@foxfields]

THANK YOU! I love the extra features where you can write instructions. I was able to sass my boss about messing up the values in my table :)

[@Discretion_seems_to_be_fading.]

I suuuper appreciate when I need an answer and I get EXACTLY what I needed without all the fluff. So much so, that I'm actually leaving this comment and thumbs upping your vid. Thanks.

[@renaldimrp9425]

Awesome!. I always look forward to your uploads, they're consistently great. Thanks for the detailed and honest review, it helped me make a better decision..

[@IlluminatingThoughtTv]

This tutorial is awesome! I learned more from this tutorial than I did in a semester in college! Excellent Video!

[@growqueen]

OMG you are the best. This is exactly what I needed. My boss asked me to do this and I had no idea.

[@Gan8325]

You are so clear and easy to explain things. Thank you for your patience.

[@maulanachafid]

Helpful information. I can tell that a lot of thought went into the making of this video.. The last one hit me really hard.

[@TheRandyGr]

Thanks for sharing Kevin. Always great to find out these little things that can really take a project to the next level!

[@carlabryant3550]

Thank you for these wonderful "how to" videos! Questions re: drop down list: 1.) Can you create a dropdown list in Excel and copy and paste it into Word? will it function? How do you get it to function? 2.) How do you put a blank "value" in your drop down list? Feel free to simply point me in the direction of another video if you have already answered this. Thanks so much for your help.

[@dreudax3294]

Its been long time, but can you do this? Also if it is possible it would be of great help if you can mention some keywords to research into thsi. Thanks.

[@sherellebuk]

Thank you, your videos are amazing! Always explained in a clear and simple way that is easy to understand.

[@nathanpiper1346]

quick and to the point, ty mate

[@user-ht6rj9fm3k]

Great article to refresh knowledge, I almost forgot this when I stop working. Thanks

[@spartanadam3935]

Fantastic tutorial, however, mines is not updating dynamically. I do have my list as a table with header in a separate sheet, but it won’t update if I add data to the table.

[@frankdewit3445]

Do u got a awnser already? I got the same problem. cheers

[@spartanadam3935]

@@frankdewit3445 Yes, you’ll create that list as a table (ctrl + T). Give table a meaningful name. Now in data validation use =INDIRECT("CategoryList") where categorylist is your table name. Hope this helps.

[@oluwaseyiosagie9333]

Thank you, your illustration was absolutely on point and has just made my life easier.

[@r2sweeth]

You made it look simple!! Thank you for not over explaining

[@samuelopoku-agyeman9432]

Good tutorials, Kindly add how the drop down can generate a report straight away.

[@dylalokman]

Thank you! Very easy to understand and manage to create my own drop-down list in excel!

[@michaelgalik1630]

Entertaining!. I really enjoy watching your videos, I can't wait for the next one!. The last one hit me really hard.

[@MR-ul6bc]

My teammate just quit and I needed to know how to do this. Thanks for posting.

[@harshenvy]

It first didn’t workout for me until I realised that some excel versions require a semicolon (;) instead of a comma (,) when writing 3:15. It’s a small difference that had me buzzing for like 5 minutes. Hope others avoid this mistake

[@Cathoray2012]

Excellent tutorial for using drop down lists. I liked the extras at the end of the video - will have to make use of that.

[@FilmBookReview]

Thank you. Helpful. Just used it to create my first drop down menu.

[@lorrainebingham726]

Oh and by the way, great explanation. I used it for my first try of course there was an item that needed to be added to the list and the user did not know what to do.

[@arthurkklam]

Thank you Kevin. You make life much easier!

[@angelagarza2150]

[@bncprado]

Hi. Man, you help so many people with your tutorials. Thank you very much. When I create a table and tell the dropdown menu to get info from the table, it doesn't update automatically when I add new items to the table. Am I doing anything wrong? thank you

[@misterpogiako]

it begins to really start and commence at around 2:31. surely that's what you came here for

Thanks for the great video. How do I take my list from the drop downs, and let say add each drop down ie; bakery, produce, meet to see how many of each I have?

[@aldotrillo4642]

Hello, Congratulations, your videos are the best! Please help me with this... How can I include a "Select all" option in a drop down list?, because once an option is selected I can't look all the options again.

[@jimmylittleuk]

thanks for this, now i know!

Hi Kevin- How can you use the drop-down list and select multiple selections with a comma and a new line? Can you please cover the VisualBasic process please?

[@dianaavalos3033]

Thank you! I *really* needed the reminder!

[@sagi662]

Great tutorial! Thank you. I'd rather watch your videos then the Excel tutorials on the Home page 🙂. I really like how to add the messages - never knew how to do that. One question I have is: on the data validation box, settings tab, there are two boxes that are checked by default - what are those about? Should "ignore blank" be left check? Does that mean someone could just ignore the cell and not make a selection?

God bless your soul!
