    filtered data validation

    Hi everybody, i will describe my problem:
    I have a list of streets on one column (different sheet) and i'd love to give my users the possibility to choose a street based on whatever they write in a cell. a kind of dynamic data validation...
    I will try to explain myself better with an example:


    i have this list of streets:
    streets
    high street
    republic street
    bond road
    fullend street
    nice street
    endington street
    all high street

    a user would write "high" in a cell and press the data validation arrow, at that point only
    high street
    all high street
    would be displayed.


    is it possible? i was thinking about a range filtered right before the click on the arrow or something like that

    i appreciate your help. thanks in advance

    @Gotrekk,

    I'm currently working with this and it's giving me a challenge.
    I'm only having problem because I can use the autocomplete on the streets sheet and not on the main sheet.
