Default press letter and go 2 entry begin w letter in data validation drop

How can I get Excel's data validation dropdown to act list a regular listbox
dropdown, i.e., when I press a letter, the first item that begins with that
letter is highlighted in the list?

Thanks

Data Validation drop down lists don't support that.
