    Select cells with the dropdown that you want to change. Data/Data validation and type in the new values. Which cells do you want the DV to be in?

    sorry mate, it does not work for me. I Change the Name but then it is still the same. I want it to be "open" for "offen", "not applicable" for "entfällt" and "error" for "Fehler". When I Change it, it just remains the same..

    You didn't say which cells you wanted the DV in. However, it DOES work. see cells in yellow, attached.

    That's done using Conditional Formatting. the Data Validation and Conditional Formating apply ONLY to those cells in column B, adjacent to the yellow coloured cells in column C. If you need more cells formatted similarly, then tell me which ones...
