Default AutoCoplete cells content

Hello ng reader,
I was wondering if it is possible to help users to fill cells content.
Let's say I have a column and the user has to write something from a
set of words.
I would like to help the user showing a box which shows all the words
matching the characters he/she has already typed. Like when we use VBE
in Excel.
The set of words could come from a specified range or an array defined
in VBA.

Is it possible ?

Thanks,
Massimo

Have you tried DataValidationList
Then in the RefersTo box enter (with the equal sign)
=MyRange ' (a user named range)

In your MyRange list on any sheet list the options that a user could choose
from.
This limits the options, but avoids typos and presents the user with
acceptable choices.
