Yes, you can create dropdown in the excel sheet through .net code. But I don’t think this makes sense because, you should export data that is there in the grid – this includes the dropdown selection as well.

In other words, if PQR is selected in the dropdown column among ABC,PQR and XYZ then you should write PQR in the exported excel sheet (not that copy all 3 in the excel sheet dropdown column and show PQR as selected – this way any one can change exported report values which is not acceptable).

I don’t know what kind of application you are working on but, this is how it should be in normal cases.

I hope this will help you.
