    Use data validation on the Data Tab on the Ribbon.

    1. Highlight column or select cells in column you want the data validation list in.
    2. Go to your Data tab and select "Data Validation"
    3. Once in Data Validation, select list in first drop down menu and then in source window type DROP, check.

    That should give you what I believe you are asking to accomplish.

    Sorry Jhon but I don't understand your question. Maybe post a sample workbook with an explanation and expected outcome.
