Hello forum friends,

I am trying to discover if there is a way to have greyed-out text (perhaps some instructions) appear in a text box on a UserForm that the user could 'over-type' as they fill in the text box, similar to what you see in a webpage? I don't like the idea of using ControlTipText as that method doesn't manifest unless the user actually hovers over the text box. Appreciate any suggestions or help. Thanks!

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
