Hi,

Is there anyway that we can get the Detection to flag partial name matches
in a populate list of matching words?

I have an example here. At cell B6, if I enter the wordings "Flower
Database", the cell should populate a list of matching words (John Database,
Suzy Database, JH Datebase Ptd) from its column B, to alert me that there are
a list of matching words and give me a dialog notes on whether to continue
entering the wordings "Flower Database". This detection needs to work at each
cell in Column B.

For example:

Column B

Row 1 John Database
Row 2 Suzy Database
Row 3 JH Datebase Ptd
Row 4 Happy Shoes Ltd
Row 5 Happy Suzy Shoes Inc
Row 6

Thanks Max.

This "AutoComplete" feature doesn't work for me.

There are two criterias that I need he

(1) I need the matching data come from the same sheet 1 column B, and I
can't possibly update the data validation list at a new sheet 2 as and when
there is a new entry in sheet 1.

(2) I need something smiliar to an example from this website
(http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_SG/homepage). When I type 'Au' at the To
field at the Book Flights tab, it will shows me a list of matching words to
'Au'.

Is there anyway that I work with?

I'm out, sorry. Maybe other responders would offer you their views,
