    Searchable drop down list in multiple cells

    HiAll,
    I am trying to create a searchable drop down list in excel, I have done this however, i need the same search in more cells to creat a recipe builder but I cant seem to manage it. Any help would be appreciated.
    Please see attached example.

    A1 Search onions finds onions
    A2 search coca cola only find onions
    A3 same as A2

    OK, IN the box where I had the original search drop down, I typed
    =cell("contents")
    this then let me use the same formula in the next cell down.

    How can you make it so that the searchable drop down list in cell B10 "resets" and you see the full list of options? Currently you are only able to select from the list what is in cell B9 because the B9 selection is filtering the list in the MASTER DATA tab.
