    drop down menu data limit

    Hi,

    I have created a drop down menu to select names. The data list contains 42 individuals but the drop down menu only shows 38...Is this an Excel limit? Any way around this? Thank you.

    I don't believe there is a limit in Excel 2003. How do you have the list set up?
    written into the Data Val box?
    referenced cells in the Data Val box?
    If the first, I recommend the second. If the second, check your data Validation box to make sure it references your entire list (i.e. Q1:Q43)

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    It should show all 42, I think.

    Are you using named ranges? Make sure all items are covered in the named range.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
