Data|Validation doesn't offer autocomplete, but it would allow choosing from a
dropdown.

If you use an apostrophe, then this technique won't work.

Could you not use data validation to do this ? ... assuming that there are
only a few numbers involved of course. :) Sounds like it's job codes or
something similar. If you can list em, you could get em into a drop down box
and just pick the right one.
