Data Collation

Hi folks,

I'm not sure this is even possible but here goes - (please see attached file)
This is chart to keep a record of business referrals between people.

1. In the column 'from' is it possible to start typing a name in the cell and excel find matches for you to select from?

2. Is it then possible for the chart further across to register in the appropriate cell that the referral has happened and to keep a running tally?

Once I've learnt how to do this, if at all possible, I shall be back to learn even more.

Andrew

PS. Sorry but I'm really out of my (limited) depth on this.

Thanks Rat-Cat,

You've shown me how to do the most important part, and I can understand how you did it!!!

For columns B & C is there a way for Excel to recognise what I'm typing and show all possible matches without typing all of the name?

OK, thanks to RatCat I am half way there.

I would also like to find out who are the top and bottom referrers and referees are each month. I have tried lots of different lookup functions but none seem to do it. Can it be done and is it possible to list all names if it's a tie?

Many thanks to all, I am learning stuff each time you help
