I was wondering if its possible to Style a Drop Down List in Excel. The text is rather small and has no styling and I was wondering if the drop down list styling could be changed?
What would actually make sense is if the drop down list items copied the same styling as its source cells, i.e. alternating background colour of cells, font, size, etc. Or even the copying of the style of the validation cell itself!?
Is there any way to change this using VBA or any other 3rd party method?
Unfortunately, you can’t change the font size or styling in a drop-down list that is created using data validation.
You can style the text in a combo box, however. Follow the instructions here: Excel Data Validation Combo Box
