title: how to add list option in excel (2010) without having options in different cells
body: <p>I want to add options like <code>"WIP", "Assigned" , "Completed"</code> to a column and make it a drop down list. 
  I found <a href="http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/microsoft-office/how-to-add-a-drop-down-list-to-an-excel-cell/" rel="nofollow">here</a> that it can be done using <code>"Data Validation"</code> by having options in different cells . Can I achieve the same without having the options in different cells?! </p>
  
  <p>Can I just specify the option values!?</p>
