Auto-complete for multi-valued cells?
Hi --
I'm trying to build a spreadsheet that allows users to enter a comma- delimited list of values in specific cells, sort of like a list of tags in delicious etc. The values should be from a restricted list. For example, if the restriction is a list of names of fruit, it would allow users to enter "apple, banana, pear" into a cell. To help users enter the correct values, I would like to show an auto- completion menu while they type. Excel's autocomplete works for a single value match -- in the above example, it would match "apple". But once you've 'accepted' the first value by typing a comma, it will no longer match as you start typing the first few characters of the next value (banana). Is there a way to subvert the built-in functionality to match individually in a comma-delimited list? And if not, is there a way to reproduce this functionality from within VBA (e.g. trap key-presses and do the completion match yourself)? Thanks! Ramon |
