CREATING A DYNAMIC DROP DOWN LIST IN EXCEL: Office 365 & 2013 Version Made Easy!

Intro are you aware that using Microsoft Excel you can  create a drop- down list that helps you insert   your data without having to type it in manually  come let me show you how it's done here I already   have my source data where I'll be bringing  in the information that I will be inserting   inside my drop- down list so on the drop- down  list in the space provided for Department I'll   highlight the column using the Office 365 version  I have the option to search I'll right click and   on this box that has searched menu I'll type  in data and click on validation then in this   section I'll click and select list in the source  option I'll go to my source data and highlight   the entire department information press enter and  click okay so in that space you can see that all   the department information is already inserted  in my drop down list so all I need to do is to   click and select any Department that I want and  in the gender section I will also highlight right   click type in data click on validation go back  and select list here I can as well type in my   gender information I'll type male put a comma  type in female click okay so all I need to do   is to click select and insert is as simple as  that using other version of excel that is not   Office 365 like this particular version is  Microsoft Excel 2013 version working with   the same information I would come over my drop-  down list and highlight the department column   then when I right click you can see that I do not  have the option to search like the first one so   what I would do is to go to data tab then I will  go to data validation click on data validation   then I would change any value to list then to  my source option I'll go to my source data and   select the entire staff department click enter  click okay but with this version you can see   that the staff department was presented more  than once according to the manner it was shown   from the original Source data which was not the  case when we used the Office 365 version so to   address that what we will do is to go and remove  duplicate values from the staff department because   I don't want to tamper with this original data  I would copy the staff department and paste it   another column I would go to data tab click on  remove duplicate and I'll select continue with   Remove duplicates current selection click on remove duplicate yes  we are working on column D and we click okay so   we can see the number of duplicate values that  were removed and unique values remaining now   back to our drop- down list we would go back  and select the column click on data and to   data value validation we select data validation  we'll click on list to the source we'll go and   select our unique values press enter click okay  now you can see that duplicate values have been   removed and you can go and select any Department  that is applicable to each staff and back to the   gender option click on data validation then  we select list the source can be typed in   male comma female and click okay so here we have  our gender information in the drop- down list I   will just copy the formula down across other  rows then we can select so this is how you   create a drop- down list in Microsoft Excel  using different versions of Microsoft Excel   thank you for watching please don't forget to  subscribe like and share this video bye for now
