Hi all - new to the message board, need a little help. I have some experience with VBA, but I am far from a master.

I essentially have a sheet where for each line (maybe 100 lines to a sheet) a reviewer selects a value from a very long drop down list to provide the status for the individual line. So, I want a drop down in every row in one column. I realize a validation list would be useful for this. However, the list of options is long and autocomplete would be ideal.

Having googled this for a little while, it seems that autocomplete and data validation lists do not go well together. I would create a combo box in each cell of the column, though I am not sure about how to go about that or if it would be finicky.

Any thoughts/help/suggestions are appreciated!

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
