    Populating names from another sheet

    I have names in sheet 2 and would like for those names to appear on sheet 1 as per needs basis. What I mean by per needs basis is I want to be able to type the first letters of the last name and then have all the names that beginw tiht that letter show up in that cell so that I can choose the right student.

    This should help.

    Here's a technique for using a single cell to first select a sub list of names, then use the same cell again to select final option.The sample file on that page helps demonstrate the technique: AutoCompleteDataValidation(SortOf).xls
