    Help: Data Validation-multiple selections to appear in one cell separated by a comma

    Currently, I have data validation selected for cell D4 in the attached spreadsheet. What I would like to be able to do is to have the option to select multiple criteria (as opposed to just one) and have the selected information outputted in the same cell, separated by a comma.

    The direct answer is not, you can't use data validation to select more than one choice (at least I have never run across it).

    I would suggest, include combinations within the data validation itself.

    Also, a suggestion would be to turn the your DV list into a dynamic named range so it will grow as your requirements grow.

    Create named range >> Ctrl + F3 >> Name: MyChoices >> Refers to: =Sheet1!$L$11:INDEX(Sheet1!$L:$L,MATCH(REPT("z",255),Sheet1!$L:$L))

    Now for the DV in D4, use =MyChoices as the Source

    One alternative.
    Cell D5: =ConcatenateRange(L11:L14,", ")
    //Ola
