Autocomplete in an excel worksheet using data validation & a combo box does
not work. I need to be able to go to a cell and type the first few letters
of an entry to find the specific entry I need. How can I do this with data
validation/combo box or without it?

T.S.

Yes, it does work.

You just have to set it up properly.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for instructions.....with pictures!
