Default AutoComplete / Data Validation

I used V-LOOKUP to take an item from a drop down list and have it input a
price into a seperate cell, now the problem is I have over 1000 items and I'm
trying to make it easier to fill in items and prices. How can I make this
more friendly. Thanks Musky

Musky

If your drop-down list is from Data Validation, you cannot have Autocomplete.

Try a combo-box drop-down list.

Debra Dalgleish has instructions.
