Excel - Data Entry Form with dropdown boxes for easy data entering

Good afternoon  

 

Excel  - I hope somebody can help me please.   I am creating a form for easy data entry as we have to inspect a  property with 300 apartments in which all elements "lighting/extractor fan/ light switch" etc need to be categorised into "good/Fair/Needs Replacement/freetype some info"      I can get the Excel Form done, but cannot get the dropdown to work.   Please help me.      I am working on Office 365 version 2210 and have attached a spreadsheet sample.

 

Help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Apie1975 Former Excel MVP John Walkenbach created a nice add-in for this: the J-Walk Enhanced Data Form. It is not available from the original site anymore, but I have attached it in a zip file. There is a text file with instructions in the zip file.
