Predictive Text based on cell range?

J

J.W. Aldridge

Is there any way to set the predictive text for a column/cell to refer
to a range?

Example:

My list is in Column E. (E1:E50)

Mary
Bob
James
Larry
Kevin

Whenever someone begins typing a name in A1, it searches and finishes
the name.

I know that Excel predicts sometimes, but not consistent. I want to
predict based on a set criteria.

Why not simply use Data Validation for cell A1, and have it obtain its list
from range $E$1:$E$50? See the Validation command in the Data menu (Excel
2000).
