    Some type of LOOKUP

    Is there a way to start typing in a cell and have it return (to a drop down list) all matching values and have the list reduce is you type more?
    See attached
    Also, can a drop down list be made to show all, as opposed to useing a drag bar?

    Re: Some type of LOOKUP

    Hide the validation list directly above the column where the
    validation will occur to create a continuous section with
    no blanks, this allows the built-in Autocomplete function
    in Excel to operate if you enable in TOOLS > OPTIONS

    See reduced attachment, if you type WZE...the rest of the matching code will appear.

    NOTE: merged cells are not recommended and were removed in the sample.
