How to add a dropdown list in Google Sheets

You can add clarity and categorization to your spreadsheets using dropdown lists in Google Sheets, which help with data consistency and accuracy. To create a dropdown list, select the cell(s) where you'd like to add it, go to Data > Data validation or right-click and select Dropdown, choose the criteria, and add options. You can also use existing data by highlighting cells with values you want to include in your dropdown list and selecting Dropdown. Editing or removing a dropdown list is straightforward, and using one allows for easy selection of options without typing, reducing errors and saving time, especially when collaborating on a sheet.
