Default time sheet drop down lists

I have set up a time sheet in which e6:e14 has a drop down list of times in
15 minute increments. This is the start time. I have g6:g14 with the same
setup only this would be end time. Is there a way that when I enter the
start time I will be able to enter the end time from the drop down list
without having to scroll down from the begining?

Hi!

So, there is a particular end time that corresponds to a particular start
time? If so, why not just use a lookup formula?

Hmmm....

After re-reading your post about 10 more times, I think I misunderstood the
first time around.

Why not just create separate lists. One that only contains the possible
start times and another that only contains the possible end times.

Hey Biff,
So much for being clear. Let me try again.
I need to enter a start time in the first column. Then when I enter the end
time I would like to be lazy and not half to scroll from the top of my time
list shown in the drop down to a time after the start time. Example:

1st column start time
3:15 pm
2nd column end time
3:30 pm or later

I understood that much!

Let me play around with an idea I have.

OK, try this:

Assume you have a list of times in 15m increments in the range G1:G20. This
list is the source for your drop downs in A2 (start time) and B2 (end time).

As the source for the drop down in B2 use this:

=OFFSET(G1,MATCH(A2,G1:G20,0),,COUNT(G1:G20)-MATCH(A2,G1:G20,0))

So, if you select 9:00 AM as the start time from the drop down in cell A2
the drop down for cell B2 will start at 9:15 AM.
