Default validation (list) & auto fill

I have a list of several hundred names which I linked to a column of cells
using validation


Does that mean it's a data validation drop down list?

You can use a combo box from the control toolbox. This type of combo box has
an "autocomplete" feature.

fill
search alphabetically making the section process quicker and easier?
