    Steps to Implement in-cell validation with a resulting lookup

    1/ Create a 2 column lookup table with your dataset. Lets assume its in cells F10:G15.
    2/ Select the cell where you want the drop-down.
    3/ Goto the Data==>Validation menu.
    4/ Select "List" in the Allow dropdown.
    5/ Check the "In-cell dropdown" option
    6/ Make the source the first column of your lookup column.
    7/ Click OK.

    See the attached example of how it works, you just need to select the cells you want the drop box then under "Data" select data validation and choose "List" in the allow box.
