Hi, I have a cell that requires user input. I would like there to be a drop-down in that cell that would allow a user to select some potential options. However, if the options don't work for the user or they want something else, they would still be able to type in whatever they'd like without being stopped by the data validation. Possible?

Thanks!

Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
You can use Data Validation:
Instead of choosing Stop as your Data Validation choice in the Data Validation setup choose Warning.
Then your able to enter any value you want.

In the Styles Box choose Warning instead of Stop
