Good morning,
I need to enter a fairly lengthy string of information for data validation. I was wondering if it was possible to somehow paste in the string of information needed? I tried Crtl V, right click-Paste with no luck. Wondered if anyone had a solution for this.
thanks much,
Bill
Put your Data Validation data in a range of cells on a worksheet and refer to that instead. Much easier to update.

Thanks very much! Hadn't thought to try that, learned something new today!
thanks,

OR you can just paste the lengthy string once into the first data validation in the range, then copy - paste special - validation.
