    DATA Lists Dependent Upon other Data List Cell will Not Autocomplete when Typing

    I have a list that is dependant upon another list and it will not autofill the cell while typing. It is restricted for one, issue but does not show any of the autofill text. I have tried inserting all my text in the same column above and hiding the cells and it still does not autocomplete. Any ideas?

    I want to autofill Column B while typing, it is a merged cell with D, however.

    I am attaching a copy of the file.

    None of the sheets has B merged with D, so it is hard to tell what you want. But autocomplete only works once you have completely identified a unique string. So if you have

    Base Package Cabinet HW
    Base Package Carpet

    you would need to type all the way to

    Base Package Cab

    before the automcomplete would offer

    Base Package Cabinet HW

    Better to use data validation lists, and select from the dropdown arrow.
