Is there a way I can create a dropdown list in Excel 2010 which has checkboxes, so that I can select multiple items from the dropdown ?
Make it a listbox and set the MultiSelect parameter to fmMultiSelectExtended or fmMultiSelectMulti. It won't be a dropdown, but it's your best bet.

I have a huge Excel spreadsheet (36 columns) and applied filters on the header row. I made some configuration and now I have the filtered sheet.
Is it possible to save this filter configuration?
There was the option back in MS2007 (Custom views) but I cant find it in Excel 365.
In the "View" ribbon select "Custom Views" in the group "Workbook Views". If it does not appear go to options->customize ribbon-> select all commands-> find "Custom Views"-> add to a custom ribbon.
After filtering your table, click on "Custom Views" -> Add
This will save the table filtering among other things.
Keep in mind that Custom Views are worksheet-specific, meaning that a custom view only applies to the worksheet that was active when you created the custom view.
You can create a macro that will apply the filters to the table.
Developer Tab
Record Macro
Apply filters to table (you can even just edit the filter for each column and select "OK" to apply the filter you already have in place)
Stop recording Macro
From then on you can just run the macro you recorded and it will filter your table.
I have a form on Sharepoint, whereby I have 2 drop-down controls.
Lets say the first one has values "A, B and C" to choose from.
According to the option selected in the 1st drop-down, I will have to populate the 2nd drop-down accordingly.
Is there a way to do that in Sharepoint Designer or Infopath?
The dropdown are both created similarly;
Or if I can at least filter the 2nd drop down, according to the value chosen in the 1st drop down.
I am newbie in Sharepoint dev, and need some tips on the above.
if I've understood you correctly, what you are trying to do is populate the 2nd dropdown list based on what is selected from the first.
Have you tried to put a filter on the 2nd drop-down, like this...?
Open up your list form in InfoPath
Right click on the 2nd choice field and select, 'Drop-down List Box Properties'
Click on the button to the right of 'Entries'
Click on 'Filter Data' button
Click on 'Add'
Enter the condition (i.e. 'Choice' is equal to 'Choice', or whatever the name of your 1st choice field is.)
Does that work? (I'm assuming you aren't using a secondary data source.)
i am trying to implement a multi-select dropdown list in excel, refer below for the image
As you can see, it is part implemented, but as it is not intuitive, I would like to have a checkbox in place of the dropdown where the 3 options - APR, LEASE and CASH exists. Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me out with this.
Instead of using in-cell dropdown use an Active-X List Box, set MultiSelect to fmMultiSelectMulti and ListStyle to fmListStyleOption.
There are two ways to make drop down list in Excel:
Data validation list
Combobox form control
Now in my project I have Data validation dropdown lists wich can be too long and I want to add search functionality for it. I've find some solutions but only for combobox control, which not applicable for my Excel document, because theese dropdown lists should be repeated in each row:
Is there any possible solution to add search functionality to datavalidation dropdown list?
I know that Excel 2010 Slicers will visually indicate when there is no data associated with a particular slicer selection. For example, they are faded in color for 2010 if you have no values in 2010.
Is there some setting where I can hide them altogether?
If I have sales in 2007, 2009, and 2010; but not 2008 can the slicer list omit 2008 entirely or must it always be shown as greyed out.
I'm not asking for a SQL selection solution, but rather an Excel setting.
Actually, yes you can! If the item on the slicer is grayed out because there is no data, you can do the following:
Right click anywhere on the slicer and select "Slicer Settings" from the drop down.
On the bottom right select the box that says "Hide Items with no Data".
Click "OK"
Found a way of mimicing this in 2010 - see this article on formatting Slicers

Create a custom format, and just set the items with no data to white fill & White text, and they dissapear! You should also set the "hover over" for items with no data to the same, otherwise they will appear if the user hovers ofer the item. Simples. Thanks to Datapig!
This feature does not exist. But an alternative does exist. Place the slicer anywhere in another sheet and hide that sheet and it will still work.
The "Hide items with no data" option is only in Excel 2013, it is not available in 2010
You cannot do this in Excel; the feature doesn't exist. You may find that page filters will suit the task better.
