Default search and expand featu programming


I have a sheet in excel with a list of people and their wages.
On another sheet, I would like to start typing the name of the
person and have something like an auto-complete feature from
the list of people and their wages, so that I can easily pick the
person I want. How can this be done in excel?

Thanks a lot for your help,
--j

Hi John!

One way is use VLOOKUP-function.

no, but you can pick the name from a list using data =Validation.

to use an offsheet list as the source, you would first have to create a
named range (insert=Name=Define) that refers to it, then use that name
range as the source of your data validation.
