Message: [QUOTE="FloridaCajun, post: 13292385"] I have a VLOOKUP formula set up in cell D9 which uses a drop down list in D8 (data validation with List in another worksheet) to retrieve a cost of a radiology or laboratory charge. All of this works, but I'd like to refine the lookup to a seeded value. The data list has several hundred entries to choose from. Currently when the drop down is activated the list starts with "Ankle" and the user has to scroll down to "Chest" or "Wrist." Is there a way to seed the lookup in D8 to begin the drop down at a certain alpha character? For instance, if the user is looking for the cost of a Wrist 2 View procedure, I'd like to enter "W" in D8 and have the drop down begin with W's instead of A's. Thanks in advance, Robert [/QUOTE]
