Create a quick Table by selecting F2:G4. So, choose Ctrl + T, press the My Table has Headers, and then click OK.
Select D4, the box will occur the drop-down and continue creating earlier, and click Ctrl + C.
Select G3, the first cell in that column and press Ctrl + v to copy the drop-down to that cell.
Select a part from the drop-down and click a Tab to insert a new record into the Table. Tab to G4 and you’ll see that the Table copies the drop-down automatically (Figure E). If you’re using Excel to serve for work, right-click the Table, click Insert from the resulting submenu, and next select Table Rows Above. The Excel will copy the drop-down as the desktop version does.
