Drop Down Lists are great when you want to show options to the user and want him/her to select one.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to quickly create a drop-down list in google sheets using data validation.

00:00 Intro
00:10 Creating a Drop Down List
01:59 Creating Drop Down for multiple cells
02:20 Invalid Input error with a drop-down list
02:33 Copy data validation from one cell to another
02:57 Removing drop-down lists (data validation)

Drop Down lists can be used in data entry where you want the user to select from predefined options only. This also ensures that there are no errors (such as misspelled words).

You can also use drop-down lists in Google Spreadsheets to create interactive charts, to-do lists, and dashboards.

For example, you can create a drop-down with a to-do list where the user can select from options such as task completed, task-in-progress, yet to start.

Another (advanced) use of the drop-down list can be to extract data for the selected item. For example, suppose you have a list of students and their marks in five subjects.
You can use the drop-down menu to select the name of the student and use the formulas to automatically extract the score details of that student.

You will also learn how to copy drop-down lists from one cell and paste it in other cells. You can also easily remove all the drop downs at once from all the cells.
