    Dropdown List - Change Display

    Hello all -
    I have set up a dropdown list and am wondering if there is a way to set the list to display a different value. For example, if the list shows Apple, Orange, Banana I would want the cell to show A, O, or B when a value is selected. Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance!

    Well, the solution most likely depends on what kind of dropdown list you're using.

    If you're using a drop-down ("combobox") from the Controls Toolbox, you can code a Change event that will set any cell's value to whatever you want. For example:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    If you are using a data validation drop-down list, you could use a Worksheet_Change event to do something similar, although you couldn't have the validation drop-down list and result in the same cell.
