RE: Data Validation

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

The only way I can see of doing it is using a combo box and set the properties for autocomplete.

Excel tip:

View a unique list

You have a column with hundreds of entries, and you need to see what unique items are entered in it. Select any cell in that column, hold down Alt and press the down arrow: Excel produces an alphabetically-sorted list of unique entries in that column.
