Hello @loren1270,

 

Without doing some serious research, I'm afraid I do not have a concrete answer for you as this is not a simple task in excel and would require the use of VBA. However, I hope that I can at least point you in the right direction. I recently read this post by Chandoo over at Chandoo.org that may be helpful to your unique situation.

Thank you for responding!

This is an example of what my sheet will look like and what I am trying to do. I'm not sure if vlookup is my best option but I would like to have an auto fill but have a prediction for example if I have to individuals by the name of Peter. I would like to type in P and have the selection come up rather than scrolling through the list. I don't know if there is another way of doing that.@PReagan
