SubjectMultiple selections simultaneously from a data validated dropdown list
Message-ID<dsuonblrpd7p4oi8ne5bduhju9971e0qhh@4ax.com>
Hi,

I've got my spreadsheet set where users are able to select multiple
values from a data validated dropdown list one at a time.  All values
selected show up in the cell as expected, separated by a comma.  But,
the user has to select each value one at a time, reselecting the
dropdown list each time.  Is there an easy way to set it up so that
the user can select all values at the same time, similar to a filtered
list drop down (except everything starts out unselected)?

I believe this can be done almost totally with VBA (have a single
'option' that fires a VBA multi-select dropdown list that concatenates
all the selections and pastes the result in the cell), but I'm hoping
there's an easier solution.  Thanks!

Frank

Using a VBA multiselect listbox is the easiest way, IMO. Not sure what 
you mean by "easier solution" unless it's how you code for this.

Ok.  I was just wondering if there was something built in that I
wasn't aware of and didn't find.  I'll go the VBA listbox route.
Thanks Garry.

You're welcome!
I typically would use the sheet's BeforeBoubleClick OR BeforeRightClick 
of the target cell to display the list. Optionally, a keyboard combo!
