On this tab, you can make settings for the dropdown list itself:
▪Lines (max.)
| Here, you can specify the maximum number of entries that the list should display when it is expanded. |
▪List area
| Here, you specify the cell range that contains the entries to be displayed in the dropdown list. |
| If, for example, you fill the cells F5 to F7 with the values "dog", "cat" and "mouse" and enter F5:F7 in the list area, those three values will appear in the list. |
▪Result cell
| Here, you specify to which cell the result of the dropdown list should be returned. |

▪3D effect
