RE: Templates

Hi Michelle, Thank you for your post, In answer to your question;
1. Select the cell into which you wish the data to be entered from your drop down option.
2. Menu command Data, Validation
3. In the dialog box that opens, click the drop down for Allow, and choose List, in the Source Text box, type your list of options separating each one with a comma (,). Alternatively you could use the cell references of an existing list; ie A1:A10, however if the list is deleted or edited in any way this will affect the drop down options on your spreadsheet. Finally save your workbook as an Excel Template .pot. I hope that helps, regards Pete

 

Excel tip:

Shortcut for deleting all comments in a spreadsheet

If you have entered multiple comments into a spreadsheet and wish to delete them all at once, you can achieve this by:

1. Holding down Ctrl, then Shift, then O - this will select all cells containing comments in the worksheet you are looking at.

2. Right-clicking on one of the selected cells, and selecting Delete Comment from the menu that appears.

3. Clicking anywhere else in the spreadsheet to deselect comments - all comments should have disappeared from the spreadsheet.
