Filtering drop down lists
Hello,
I am trying to configure my drop downs to in order make them more searchable. The lists are quite large so I'm hoping to find a macro or formula which allows me to do this (e.g. type "M" so that I am brought to a list item beginning with that letter). Any help would be appreciated. Thanx |

Filtering drop down lists
srain001
In xl2k you can sort your list "ascending" and at each change in the first letter of you list, insert a cell and place the appropriate letter. In your dropdown just enter the first letter and the click the dropdown arrow and you are at the beginning of that part of your list. Does that help?
