select data entry by typing first letter which causes drop down list
In one cell I want to quickly select one data value from a long list of data values located in another part of the spreadsheet. I want to start typing the first letter and then have excel immediately display a sublist of all possible data items from the list that begin with that letter that I typed. Can this be done in Excel? and How?
Thanks for any help or suggestions. Zorbahu |

For example, if there are 3 items that begin with "c" or "C", continuosly pressing the 'C' key will cycle through each item and display them in turn. -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |
