    dropbox list font size increase

    Hi - tried to find a solution to increase font size of a dropdown list. I am of the impression you cannot do this directly. I tried to increase the size of the worksheet, but it sheet size is too large.

    Is there any other solution. Doing a search suggested to use vba, but not experienced in this.

    many thanks

    I fear that this is the case - without VBA, you will not be able to control the look of the drop-down. Do you want me to move this to the VBA section for you?

    Hi

    I would suggest that you use a Userform instead.

    Selecting a cell can open a Userform using a Selection Change Macro.

    You have total control of how a Userform Appears and acts.

    Welcome to the forum

    Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
