How to view dropdown menu (data validation) with Google Sheets on my website


I know how to embed a Google Sheet onto a website. My issue is that my sheet has a dropdown menu (created with data validation "List from a range") does not appear when the sheet is viewed as a website. I would like the dropdown menu to appear when embedded on a website. Is there a way to do this?

I expect to see the full list of countries when I click the dropdown button like this

But when I view the Google Sheets webpage I cannot change the country.

Here is a link to the Google Sheet (web version):

Thanks for your help in advance.


Solution

  • Edit operations are not supported

    I'm afraid this is not possible since using a dropdown menu is considered an edit operation. Edit operations are not allowed on Web published versions of the Google Spreadsheets.

    A workaround here would be sharing your Spreadsheet with a link and edit permissions to anyone. Share> Get Link> Anyone with the link> Select Editor in the permissions dropdown

    If this a really important feature for you, submit this as a Feedback from the Spreadsheet page: Help> Report a problem> Send Feedback.
