    auto populate data

    Hi, Sorry this might be a old topic, would like help on this. Say i have a data in Column A in sheet 1 and sheet 1 is used only to input data. Now i have sheet 2 where i need to use the data from Sheet 1. What i want is when i type a letter in cell A1 it is should auto populate me with suggestion ( something like what we see in google search ). Is this possible without Macros ?
    Secondly wanted to check in the same example i have Details enter for column A and the details for it in 5 rows i.e till column D, there is another column F with set of data and its detail in 5 rows i.e till Column J. Same in sheet 2 if i write any info from the column A or D it should select the info for the same.
    attaching the sample sheet.

    If possible with NO MACRO's

    Thanks in advance.
    Jolly

    Re: auto populate data

    Your current data layout is awkward for data retrieval ..
    Suggest that you consider making it like this simple layout below (a 5 col format), with an additional column for Class. Then you could just stack data for all the classes up (via copy > paste) and then use filter to retrieve based on whatever criteria desired, eg Filter on Names col, etc. No need macros, no need formulae, just a one time effort on data layout re-arrangement

    Class Names Age Marks Attendence Remark
    Class 1 a 1 10 Good Pass
    Class 1 b 2 50 Bad Pass
    Class 1 c 3 60 Poor Fail
    Class 1 d 4 12 Average Fail
    etc
