Hi,
What you want to do is go to the cell that you want the dropdown box in. Then go to Data --> Validation. Where it says Allow:, you want to highlight List. Then another entry box shows where you can enter in the source. In your case you would enter A1:A4. If you click the little box at the end of the entry field it will let you highlight the cells instead of entering them in. I hope this gets you started in the right direction. Let me know.
