Adding Pulldown Menus in Excel

Adding Pulldown Menus in Excel

(OP)
NKT's answer works well, but it only works in the same sheet. I would like to create the list  or lists on one sheet (Hidden) and use it throughout the workbook. Is this possible? thanks in advance

Data --> Validation ... opens a "Data Validation" dialog box
on the "Settings" tab:
Allow --> List
Source --> (select cells with your desired input value list)

Then highlight the cell and drag with the right mouse button to select your column of input cells, and select "fill formatting only". This will copy the data validation (pull down menus) to your column of input cells.

You can use a namded range from different sheet within the same workbook.
