4. In the Description box, type comments that describe the list. This is optional.
5. Click Next.
6. Inspect the data types displayed for each of the columns in your list range. If the data types are as expected, click Finish. If a column is associated with an incorrect data type, click Cancel and confirm that the key cell can be converted to the correct type.
