Hi,

Is there anyway to add dropdown list to the excel file using ods tagsets or any other ods engine which creates ods excel file.

Thank you,

Ananda

Hi:
Several of the ODS destinations, like ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP and ODS EXCEL allow you to specify autofilters, which shows a drop down list? Otherwise, I'm not sure what kind of dropdown list you are thinking of.

Thank you for your reply. I am talking about adding data validation list for a perticular cell.

Hi:

  Oh, you mean using the DATA choice on the ribbon to pick Data Validation like this:

I do not think you can do that with ODS. That would be a question for Tech Support. I know you can interact with the print and margin settings on the ribbon, using ODS EXCEL and ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP options, but I am not aware of any way to insert data validation control into an XLSX file created with ODS.
