drop down list default

[Justin VN]

How do I increase the number of entries visible in a drop down list? It
seems that it the default is to show 8 entries then you need to use the
scroll bar to show the other entries.

Hi
AFAIK you can't change this

The data validation dropdown is limited to 8 rows, and can't be changed.

If you can use macros, there's a sample file here that provides a
combobox from which you can select one of the values. In a combobox, you
can set the number of rows in the dropdown list:

Under 'Data Validation', look for 'Data Validation Combobox'
