This may be a question asked before. I searched a lot before posting here, but couldn't figure out any acceptable one.

Can some one show me a way how to do this. I simply need to get a drop down menu when i click on the cell so that I'll have to select a value from that (as a way to restrict the user selection).

If some one can help with this I believe it will help a lot of people out there. There are a lots of questions similar to this but no any clear answer. Please answer with a bit more details. An example would be much appreciated..

Thank you!
