Default DATA VALIDATION LIST- CAN I SELECT FROM LIST WITHOUT SCROLLING

I wish to select a name from a data validation list by using the first letter
of the name so I don't have to scroll down to the name, is this possible?

You can get what you're asking for
....BUT not actually using DV

See Debra Dalgleish's website for instructions:

I hope that helps,
