Is it possible for Excel's built-in Data Validation to filter as you type?

For example, the list is:

Code:
aardvark
aardwolf
abacisci
abacists
abaculus
abacuses
abalones
abampere

baaing
babble
babied
babies
babkas
baboon
baboos
babuls

so when the user types ba, the data validation automatically scrolls to ba.

I know it's possible with a combobox.

Thanks

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Not that I'm aware of.
