Using a Combo Box in Excel

From the top menu, navigate thru: View / Toolbars / Control Toolbox



When the Control Toolbox appears, Select the Combo Box control. With your mouse, make a rectangular shape on the excel sheet.



Define the choices that will be available in the Combo Box. In this example, the names of fruits are written on Column F from row 1 thru 4.




Tell the combobox where to get it's data from. Right click on the combobox to get it's properties.




Then in the ListFillRange, enter the range of cells that hold the combox values. In this case F1:F4.



That's all there is to it, close design view and your combo box should be working fine.
