For Excel 2016 for the Mac: Under the new Mac OS (Catalina) toggling absolute and relative references is now Command-T, not F4. And you need to put your cursor in the formula line; you can't simply select the cell.

In a PC you can use Alt+Tab to move between all programs open, including several Excel books. I don't know if it works for Mac, sorry

Dear Sir, Thank you so much for your helpful guidance. Very useful knowledge.
To create your own drop-down list for the cell, do the following:
1. Create a column or a row of the items in theactive spreadsheet for the drop-down list.
2. Select the cell that needs a drop-down list fordata validation (cell B2, in this example).
3. On the Data tab, in the Data Toolsgroup, click Data Validation:
4. In the Data Validation dialog box, onthe Settings tab:

Create Drop Down Box Excel
- In the Allow drop-down list, select the List item.
- In the Source box, specify the range that contains the drop-down list items(in this example, the range is E1:E8).
- Check In-Cell Dropdown option to show the drop-down list. Otherwise, Excelvalidates your data entry but does not show the drop-down button to select itemsfrom the list.
5. Click OK.
Notes:
- You can hide the range of values used in the Source box or create it onthe protected sheet that you can hide.
- You can add the drop-down list to multiple cells by selecting the appropriatecells or copy/paste the cell with a list.
- If the list is short, you can avoid Step 1. Instead, type your list items(separated by commas) in the Source box in the Data Validationdialog box:
- If you plan to share your workbook with users of Excel 2007 or earlier, makesure that the list is on the same sheet as the drop-down list. Alternatively,you can use a named range.
