Default excel drop down list

The dropdown list (I assume Data Validation) has to be adjacent to the
entries you want for the autotext. For example, if you have some
entries in A1:A10, the autotext would work for A11 and below. If there
are blanks in the column, the auto text won't pick it up.

How can I get auto text to work on a drop down list?

Instead of having to scroll down I want to enter the first letter and it
will take to me the section I wish to use
