Multiple selections from a drop down list in Excel...

[JMW]

How do I allow users to select multiple options in a drop down list in Excel?
My drop dow list contains: RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW
and users need to select 1-3 of the color selections.

You can do this with programming. There's a sample file here:

Under Data Validation, look for 'Select Multiple Items from Dropdown List'

I have used this code and I love it. However when I try to delete or change
the selected items I get an error. Is there a way to clear the selection box
using this code? Perhaps some code that would allow me to select a cell and
press delete to clear the cell.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Add a blank cell to the selection list. This will allow you to clear a
previous selection and then re-select another choice from the list.
