I created a drop down list from a set of pre-exisitng cells and used the “Format Painter” to copy the format down to hundreds of cells where there were existing values.

I need to make a change to my list and for all the cells to reflect the change. Is this possible?
Can I force them to update?
Thanks

Thanks – first way worked fine for me. It was better because it enabled me to enter choices that had not yet been used on the worksheet.

Is there any way to select/highlight a word in Word 2007 and when you right click it, it gives you an option to search that word in google? or outlook 2007? both? I need that.

Thanks for the above tip. I’d always used drop-down lists in Access but never tried them in Excel. 2 queries, though:

1. Can I have a list residing in an external spreadsheet?
2. if the list contains 2 fields (eg product code & product description) can the drop-down list populate 2 separate (non-adjoining) fields in my spreadsheet?

Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi.
Can I create a list which will automatically populate a corresponding cell from a data table?
I.E. I have a list of customers paying by either cash on the day or invoice. When I select the client (in column A), I would like Excel to automatically populate the cell (in column B) from a linked table whether the client pays cash or invoice??????? Thanks!

Can you have the drop-down show a word, but once that word is selected, have the cell populate a number (that would obviously have to be linked somehow to the word)?
