Selecting Multiple Values from a Dropdown List

Judith Soto

I have created a "dropdown list" column and added the values. I want to be able to select multiple values from the list. How do I do that?

 

Thanks,

Judith

Judith,

 

Short answer: you can't.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Craig. I've read other threads about this limitation and was pretty bummed.

 

I've voted it up as a feature enhancement. Hopefully, with enough votes, the feature will be added in the near future. 

 

Cheers!

Travis,

 

One more thing - not all drops down lists should have this feature.

Users will break things in unexpected ways if the sheet designer is not careful.

Please let the developers know this needs to be configurable. 

 

Let the debate begin on which way should be the default.

I'm disappointed such a basic capability is missing.
