Hi ,

I want two things in my data validation file.

1. My drop down contains many values i want to quickly select values ex. I have values starting with A, B, C, D, X...
I want to select values starting with X by pressing X ... same logic for all the other values.

2. New values in drop down Ex. I have Values A,B,C exist in List I want to add new values say M, i want it to be added in the fixed list of values by having proposal options in the drop down where i can write my new values so that it can be added the list as well as current value.

I hope you all understand it properly and reply it.

Regards,
Prangnesh

If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
You have been given help earlier.
Without effort from you, other helpers (volunteers) are not very likely to help you again.
