Default How to create a Glossary into Excel spreadsheet?

I replied to your post a couple daya ago and suggested using
DataFilterAutofilterCustomBegins with..........enter a letter.

Did you try that and were the results not what you needed?

I have a Description list in a Worksheet begining with one letter "A,B,C...",
I need a glossary in the top of the worksheet with the option that can
capture the letter selected from the Glossary, I mean if I select the letter
"M" I will see all the description starting with the letter "M". I hope do
you understand me.
