Please don't hijack existing threads for different topics.

Please also provide details of what kind of dropdown you're using - a formfield dropdown or a content control dropdown.

You also need to give detailed specifications of what the dropdown possibilities are and how these relate to your required outputs. A single example, such as you've given, wouldn't even warrant a dropdown - one could just type the year.
