    Column to have fixed texts/numbers for selection

    Hi,

    i have an excel file with many users who feed in the data.

    for example, in the column of "Color" for the color "Brick Red", some might type B/RED, other might type Brik Red, or BRICK RED.....

    In short, there no uniformity, hence its difficult to filter out correct things (in this case colours).

    Same thing happens in other columns also like column for "type", some may type Pipe 1/2", others may type Pipes 1/2', and others may type PIPE 0.5".

    But if these columns had predefined words in them for the user to select them, then this problem can be over.

    Example, for the column of "Color" having to choose drop down list,

    Brick Red
    Light Blue
    Charcoal Grey
    Dark Green
    Sky Blue
    Custom


    and for the column of "Size (in inches)"

    1/2
    3/4
    1
    1 1/4
    1 1/2
    Custom

    Can anybody help me to solve this problem ?
