Excel 2010 remember cell contents
Hello,
In the attached excel spread sheet (a bid form). I would like for it to remember every entry ever put into the "Attention" cell and the "Company" cell. The idea being that the user could do the 'Alt Down Arrow' thing and get a list of previous entries to choose from.
This would be like the autocomplete function except instead of being based on other column entries it would be based on previous cell entries.
Thank you,
Mark

Hi Glen,
Thanks that looks like something I can work with and I will accept as a solution.
I would pose another question. Ideally I would like to type the first few letters of a name vs. an arrow to invoke the drop down box and have that action get me to the right section of the list. i.e., I type 'Ch' in the 'Attention' cell and the list appears and starts with 'Chandler, Charlie, Christy, etc.
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
See this EE thread for some discussion about type-ahead functionality. Rob Henson and I offered up some possible solutions that might be applicable for you.
