Is it possible to type few characters to locate an item in a combo box?

The combo box gets all the items from a second page in my excel document and is also alrdy performing a function to select numbers based upon what is selected in the combo box. Just pointing out some things that may cause problems in the future =)

Any help will work
Thank
Billy

If you use the combobox from the Controls toolbar this occurs naturally - although not necessarily exactly as you would want..

For more information see VB Editor help for the MatchEntry property.

As stated, the combobox is on the sheet via Controls (rather than Forms) Toolbox (which is also used for Userforms).
The VB Editor Help contains the 'MatchEntry' information.
