Lists (Drop down Box)
I have a product list of about 200 items. Is there an easy way to bring up
the items by the first letter of a product. |
Lists (Drop down Box)
Assuming you're using a data validtion list.
The easiest least involved way: Sort your source list and add the first letters needed: A Adam Allan Amanda B Becky Ben Bert C Connie D Danny David Then, in the cell with the drop down type the first letter but *don't* hit enter, instead, click the drop arrow and the list will "scroll" to the letter. There are other methods that are less clunky *but* they're more involved if you need to use the selection in a formula. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Doug" wrote in message ...

You could apply Data|filter|autofilter (in xl2003 menus) to that column.
Then use a custom filter--begins with X Doug wrote: I have a product list of about 200 items. Is there an easy way to bring up the items by the first letter of a product. -- Dave Peterson |
