    Single cell with multiple lines of user entered text in dropdown

    I'm creating a sales tracking sheet, and one thing I think would be really nice to have is a record of all the different stages. I am using a column that allows our sales team to place a note that looks something like this in each row for a sales opportunity:

    10/26/20 - Reviewed proposal with client

    Since this gets updated frequently based on the stage of the opportunity, I would like to be able to basically archive these into a drop down list when an update is made. In the past, the user has simply deleted that line and entered the most recent entry. So the next update might look something like this:

    10/29/20 - Client approved proposal

    I would love for the user to be able to add the new info and have the 10/26/20 entry (plus any previous entries) go into a drop down list that could be reviewed later and easily see the timeline of events. I can't think of a way to do this, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas that accomplish the same thing that may be easier...

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: Single cell with multiple lines of user entered text in dropdown

    by a dropdown list, are you asking about one that is embedded into a cell, or one that is an actual form control that sits on top of a page?

    you may even want to switch your project to ms access. you could probably benefit from a database. if you want an example of a real life request of someone who wanted to do what you're doing, and how it was implemented, see the attached sample.

    open the form ""tblKapilare"" to see what it does after entering information.
