My original macro is working fine using the following

VBA Code:
    Range("C1").Validation.Add Type:=xlValidateList, Formula1:="=Subjects!$A$1:$A$5"

What I would prefer is to have the data in Subjects!$A$1:$A$5 to be hard coded into the macro and not have to reference the previously mentioned. Is this possible?

The following is what is in A1:A5 and the line above will create a drop down menu based on the below.
Friday Before
1 Hour Email
Class Has Started
Removed
In-Person

I hope that's clear :), or clear as mud?

Thank you,
