Hi there, Tech Community newbie here so I hope I manage to explain what I'm trying to do accurately (and also hope that someone can point me in the right direction!).
I used Leila Gharani (a great resource for the occasional Excel formula needy!) formula to create a searchable dropdown list - worked great but only for a single row.
I would like to use the searchable dropdown in a 100-row spreadsheet to restrict the ability of users to enter names that are not on a master data set - is there a way to do this whilst keeping the neat searchable function or do I just have to live with the whole validation list as it would appear without the search functionality?
Cheers
Mike

@MikeHarper2039, try exploring the file I attached here and apprise me of your thoughts thereon.

@MikeHarper2039 I recommend that you review the searchable drop-down lists example I created on an invoice template. I prepared in range(A17:A33) the drop-down lists to bring data from the Products sheet to the invoice sheet. Thousands of data can be searched in the drop-down list and the result is added to the cell.
