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

Data\Validation
Select the item "List"
(something like this... my excel is not in english)

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
