In Excel, Help is only any help if you know what you're looking for. In
this case, you need to look for 'data validation'. It will be much more
straightforward if you give your source lists range names before using
these to set the validation.

Subject: [mso] Excel: How do you populate a "Pick from List" box


I'm trying to develop a worksheet with three spreadsheets containing 
one "data" sheet and two "list" sheets. In the "data" sheet I want to 
provide two columns of drop-down lists whose data is obtained from the 
two "list" sheets. ... I'm so confused!!! I thought I would use the 
"Pick from list" option when you right-click one of the cells, but I 
can't figure out how to populate the drop-down from the "list" sheets. 
"Help" is no help either.
