    You need an ordered range.

    If the source Range (Phone.Name) is not sorted then you must create a Range that is and source from that.

    Is there an easy way to do it with a combo box?

    I'm already running into limitations with a list box I don't like:
    1) 8 Row limitation
    2) Font Size
    3) etc.

    This is the spreadsheet I'm working on:
