    Pedjvak,

    It does have suggestions. If you begin to type anything that is already in the list then it will suggest the completion. Try typing Name4 and it will illustrate.

    Can you try to explain the second part? Maybe if you show a before an after example. I don't completely understand what cell you would like to link to or what the formula would be used for.

    Re: Dynamic combo box

    What it sounds like you are asking for is possible but I can't be sure if you can't be more specific. Its not possible to tell you how to accomplish any of this in these posts. I suggest you check here: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...-materials.htm to learn the basic syntax of the combobox you're asking for and properties of range objects.

    The link was to the first thread in the VBA forum regarding training material. In regards to your validation data, you can have pretty much anything you want, if you know what you want, you just have to figure out how to get there.
