    Auto Complete for Data Validation

    Hi

    How do I have the name appear in the cell C2 (sheet1) from the dropdown list : Example if I type the letters "am" in cell C2 (sheet1) then the name Armandip Sharda should appear and when I hit enter then the name is selected.When letters are typed in C2 (sheet1) then the most appropriate name appears

    Thanks

    IJC
