I don't know if you're interested in a VBA solution but, operationally, it
would be much simpler. Paste this macro into the sheet module of the sheet
that holds your data. As written, this macro assumes your data is in Column
A starting in A2. Cell A1 is the cell into which you type the letter you
want. Row 1 is frozen so that A1 is always visible regardless of the
scrolling of your data. That's it. Type "g" into A1 (without the quotes)
and your data will scroll (in an instant) and put the first entry that
starts with a "g" immediately below A1.
To access the sheet module for your sheet, right-click on the sheet tab,
select "View code" and paste this macro into that module. Please come back
if you need anything else. HTH Otto
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim RngA As Range
Dim FoundCell As Range
Dim SLetter As String
If Target = "" Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address(0, 0) = "A1" Then
SLetter = [A1].Value & "*"
Set RngA = Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Set FoundCell = RngA.Find(What:=SLetter, LookAt:=xlWhole,
After:=RngA(RngA.Count))
With ActiveWindow
.ScrollRow = FoundCell.Row
.ScrollColumn = 1
End With
End If
End Sub

I have a list with 4000+ items in alphabetical order.
Is there an easy way to move up or down to another beginning letter other
than scrolling? Say I am in the Z's & want to go up to the B's, then back
down to the W's, etc... Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Carol
