    do you mean a dropdown box?
    try data/validation
    allow
    list
    either type in list with commas
    X,M,L,XXL
    or refer to a range of cells say c1:c4 that has those values in
    click ok

    It's very simpel.

    Goto Data Validation and select Allow:List

    In the box beneath (Source) type X,M,L,XXL like Martin stated.
    Looking for great solutions but hate waiting?

    unlock cell ,protect the sheet . but validation can always be defeated by copy/paste
