    Drop down list

    Hi I need some help.

    Something happened my excel sheet and my drop down lists are no longer working the way they used to.

    In the simplest terms I had two columns of data.

    Column 1 "names" and column 2 is "years".

    The top cell of each column had the title (i.e. name & year). These top cells used to have drop down lists with the little arrow.

    If I clicked on the cell named "year" it would give me a drop down list of years. And if I clicked on a year in this list it would change the whole sheet to only display the data associated with the selected year.

    Now my lists have disappeared and I cant get them back.

    Go to the top cell of one of the columns and then Go to Data|Filter|AutoFilter... they should come back...
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    I was going insane trying to figure it out. I made the lists so long ago I couldn't remember how I did it.

    Hope you have a great day!
