    Dropdown list for multiple selection does not work! Need help

    Hi,

    I am trying to create dropdown in excel cells in a particular column and user should be able to select multiple elements. This is not working for me. So far i have done the following.

    1) With a help of 'Data Validation', I was able to create dropdown which is by default single selection.
    2) Next I added following VBA code,

    3) I removed any restrictions in terms of executing the code. So, I went and enabled the option 'Enable VBA macros'

    Even after ding all this, i am unable to select multiple elements in the dropdown.

    Can somebody help me please?

    This line means the code only applies to column 1. Where is your DV?
