    set a default value in cell drop down list

    I have in cell A2 a dropdown list using data validation so that a user can enter value from the populated list. The values are in Cell range C2:C6 which appears as dropdown list in cell A2. I am looking for a solution to set a default value as "-selsct from list-" when the work book is open always for entering datas.

    Re: set a default value in cell drop down list

    Put this in the "ThisWorkBook" module and save the file. When you reopen the values will be there in C2 to C6
    Amend the sheet name to match yours
