Is there a way to get cells to auto-fill while a person is typing? For
example, if I have a cell that has a drop-down list with the options: Apple Artichoke Banana Cantaloupe Cucumber Celery If I start to type "C" into the cell, I want it to realize, "Hey, there are three C-options in this list. Perhaps I should choose one of those." Or, in this case, since there are more than one, then if a person were to type "Ca," I would want Excel to realize they are typing Cantaloupe and fill in the rest of the word for them. I have created a huge spreadsheet template for a client and she wants to be able to quickly enter information without having to type the whole word (some of these cells contain options with 8-10 words per selection) and without having to resort to using the drop-down menus constantly. Also, in cases where I have a list like: Yes No Maybe N/A ....when she starts to type in "Yes," the cell does not pick that up. If she types in "yes" with the lower-case Y, Excel still accepts it and will leave it lower-case, even though the Data Validation cell has a capital Y. Is there a way to fix that? Thank you! |
