How to implement a simple drop down list with 2 choices

Hi - I'm relatively new to Excel Functions.  I'm trying to create a column where the  user selects 1 of 2 options from a drop down list - Either Onsite or Delivery. The solutions I've come across are functions that do a lot more than what I'm asking. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Press Alt,A,V,V, then select list. In the source box, type:
    Onsite,Delivery
    Press Enter and it’s done.

    After the user selects an option from the drop-down list, what do you want to happen next?
    Your desired result shall dictate what formula to use.
    The formula may use a myriad of combinations of functions, which all return your expected result.

      Actually, nothing needs to happen next.  Its just a shortcut for me to be able to select what type of catering contract I need to provide.  In other words, its just informative., if that makes sense.

        Do you mean that you want to create a drop-down list wherein the user may select 1 of 2 choices?
