    I need a drop down list that auto completes and filters at the same time

    Hello All,

    I have a nice template that I use for work. I would like to save a lot of time with filling out street addresses and store names.
    I would like to create a list of all addresses that I use and store name: (This will be one choice per template)
    ex:
    50 Main Street | Grosery
    230 Broadway | Restaurant
    233 Ocean Ave | Deli

    etc.

    I tried using Data Validation, but I have over 500 stores and the drop down is too big.
    I tried Data Validation with a ControlBox, but the auto complete function did not wirk with only one cell. If I had few and entered something in the first one then in the second drop down if I started with the same letter it would show the auto complete. (I am not sure how to make this clear. Was I using it wrong? I used this sheet as a example DataValComboClickDepend.xls and I just could not make it work the way I wanted)

    I tried Control Box from the control toolbox by itself and it auto completes but does not filter. So if I enter 23...and click the arrow, I still see all the addrasses and not the ones that begin with 23.

    Is there any way to do this? All ideas are welcomed.

    Thanks so much in advance.
