    How can i filter a list as i type.

    Hello All, hope everyone is well.

    We have a report that we use on a daily basis. In this report we use a drop down list to select 1 store from about 400.

    Is there anyway instead of having to scroll through the 400 stores to get the 1 I want, I can start to type the name of the store in the cell and it will filter from the list only stores that start with those letters.

    For example:

    I type Br and it will then list Bristol, Bracknell, Bridgend etc.......

    Please help, this would save me a load of time.

    Thanks in advance
