Default Excel "search"?


I have a list of a couple of thousand (and more) individual items. I want to
have a box for users to type in text (there are no numbers) and the results
will be seen reducing in number as more text is entered

eg, typing A (or a) will show all entries beginning with A
typing AB will show only entries beinning with AB
typing ABO will show .........I guess you will understand.

I suspect it is obvious to experienced users, but I confess I am stuck. I
have tried a "list", but it doesn't do want I want - unless I am doing it
wrong !!!
