Hello all expert here...

I would like to know how to create a pull down in excel which limits the
choice of the inputters?
In addition, is there any word count function that i can use to limit the
word inputted in the text box?

Thanks much.

Thank you. But how about the WORD limit? I can only find text limit in the
data validation.

Thanks much.

You could use a formula and count spaces
under data>validation select custom,

=(LEN(B1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B1," ","")))<=4

for 4 spaces e.g. 5 words, that means you can write

"The rain in Spain stays"

but not

"The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain"

Regarding the data validation, I have quite a long list for the user to
choose, is it possible that i saved the choices in the other worksheet?
I tried, but it does not allow me to do it.

Please kindly advice.
