Validation drop down arrow list disappeared
Hello,
I use a spreadsheet as a calendar with a separate sheet for each month. I have the days going across the top and a list of staff names down the side. In the middle of each sheet are drop down menus (using cell validation) where the staff can select if they are "In" or "Out" (plus a load of other options). This works fine on every month except one where there is no drop down arrow when you click in the cell. I have check the cell validation and it says the same as all the others and am pulling my hair out!! Is there a sheet option somewhere that I may have missed that restricts cell validation or anything else that prevents this from showing? Many thanks. |

Validation drop down arrow list disappeared
.. This works fine on every month except one
where there is no drop down arrow when you click in the cell. On a spare copy, try "Open and Repair" (Excel 2003) (taken from a Bob Phillips' post) Click File Open, navigate to folder, select the file, then click the arrow dropdown on the right of the "Open" button choose "Open and Repair". Good luck ! -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
