Okay,

I am stumped here.

I have a data validation drop down as a list format. *Since the list
is over 5000 unique entries, I want to be able to start typing the
value and have it start to go there. *However, whenever I start to
type the value, it won't let me. *I have another list validation on

Thanks!
