Excel: Create dropdown - how to create a selection

It may be necessary to create a dropdown button in Excel. This is the case if, for example, you want to allow a selection to have a certain impact on the document. Or if you want to create a questionnaire that has only certain answer choices for a question.

How to create a dropdown menu in Excel?

Creating a dropdown list in Excel is worthwhile if, for example, you have a catalog of questions and there should only be certain answer options to the questions. To create such a list is very simple.
  1. First mark the field that should later be the selection field.
  2. Select the "Data check" at the top of the tab "Data" and in this then the "Settings".
  3. From the options select the list and then enter the options you want to offer under "Source". Be sure to change each option with a semicolon.
  4. Now just confirm the process with "OK" and you have a finished selection. With a click on the field, you can now choose between the different options.
  5. If you do not want to enter the sources by hand and already have a list of choices, click next to the input line of "Source" on the small icon with the arrow. Now select the cells that will serve as a template for the choices.
