I've done this before, but can't seem to revreate it.

I want t drop-down list that referrences my own data.

For example I want the drop-down to be in C4, and the data is in
"$O$2:$O$73"

When  I go to "DATA\List\Creat List" the drop down is created at the to of
the data and includes "All", "Top Ten" "Custom"

I only want the list to include my data in the cell I want it in.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You're engaging AutoFiler.....you need Data Validation.

See Debra Dalgleish's website for instructions:

Does that help?

You're using the list manager when I suspect you want a Data/Validation
dropdown.

With C4 selected, choose Data/Validation:
   Allow:  List
   Source: =$O$2:$O$73
