Hi Thanks for that, however I would like to be able to drilldown by typing
the text, I have a large numeric & text list, and i need to be able to enter
a letter to drill down to the appropriate cell.

DV dropdown lists do not have Autocomplete capability.

For that feature you would need a Combobox helper.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for the how-to part.
