How do I create a dynamic dropdown list in Excel or Google Sheets?

Creating a dynamic dropdown list in Excel or Google Sheets helps in data entry by providing predefined options for users to select from. In Excel, you can use the “Data Validation” feature to create a drop-down list. For a dynamic list, link it to a named range that automatically updates when new items are added. In Google Sheets, you can use the “Data Validation” feature as well and select “List from a range” to link it to a range of cells that you can update as needed. Using dynamic drop-down lists can improve data accuracy and speed up data entry processes, especially when dealing with large datasets.
