Drop down lists
Hi,
You can scroll a dropdown list up and down using the mouse scroll wheel.
But to be able to use this option, you have to hover the mouse over the scroll bar instead of the list items.
With regards to the second question, there is no option at this time.
So I suggest you post an idea in https://excel.uservoice.com/ asking the Excel team to add such a feature.

i meant scroll down with the mouse ball
As I said in the previous reply, you can scroll a dropdown list up and down using the mouse scroll wheel.
But you have to hover the mouse over the scroll bar instead of the list items as follows:
Hope that helps
Haytham Amairah this really doesn't work very well at all. Whenever the grey bar (position indicator on the right side) reaches your mouse pointer, the scrolling doesn't work anymore and you have to move you mouse pointer again. Besides that it's really not intuitive at all. Excel has come such a long way, this should be a non-issue in 2022. It should just scroll like literally every other drop-down in any software ever 🙂
- Same thing... scrolling in a drop down list doesn't work well. I've got a list that's only got 11 items in it and so mousing over the actual scroll bar doesn't move it, only in white space. Would be awesome if this just worked the way we think it should work (like the way normal dropdowns work)
