I'm not sure if this will be of any help to you but I know you can get Excel to use a named range to define the values of a drop down.

I have spreadsheets that use a column in another worksheet to store the drop down values that are available, and as such all the values are readable in POI.

Elvis,

I've tried to have an existing spreadsheet that has just my drop downs so I could copy them into a new sheet. I can only copy the first entry in the drop down...I can't get to the other values.

This is driving me nuts because I really need this ability! So I'm trying to figure out a different solution.

Re: Drop Down List Cell

        


Am I right in thinking that .xls files that already have a selection
list pre-made, can not be read by POI either?
