    I was just cleaning up in my documents folder on my NAS, and noticed a file that could have a better name. So I went ahead and right clicked it, selected 'rename', gave it a new name and pressed enter. Windows then gave me an error chime sound and showed an outline of a pop-up for a brief moment, but the pop-up was never actually visible before it disappeared. The file however is just gone. I have restarted my PC and the NAS, checked the recycle bin, and I have tried opening the file through Excel where it is still listed under its old name in the list of recent files.

    Help needed with Excel Attendance Sheet

    You use the Data tab, Data validation facility to do this.

    If you want a coherent explanation then look in Excel Help. Here's the relevant extract from Excel 2007 Help. Excel 2007 Help - Data Validation.pdf

    My example:
    - I have written them in what seems to me to be the order of easiest explanation.
    - You'd actually set them up in the reverse order - step 3, step 2, step 1.

    1 The result - my dropdown list. I select the cell then click on the dropdown arrow that appears next to it.

    2 To set this up, select the whole column [or individual cells] where you want the dropdown to appear then click on the Data tab then the Data validation control. You need to
    - select In-cell dropdown
    - set the Allow entry to List
    - in Source, enter the worksheet name & cell range where you have written the allowable entries - you will generally want to use absolute cell references such as those shown [$ in a cell address means absolute and will not vary as you copy the formula all the way down your column - look this up if you are not familiar with it because it needs a bit of getting used to].

    3 Write out the list of allowable entries that will appear in your dropdown list.
