How do I create a drop-down list in Excel with autocomplete?

Press Alt + Q keys simultaneously to close the Microsoft Visual Basic Applications window. From now on, when click on a drop down list cell, the drop down list will prompt automatically. You can start to type in the letter to make the corresponding item complete automatically in selected cell.

How do you autocomplete data validation?

Also, Data Validation doesn't have an AutoComplete feature, which finds matching items in the list as you start to type. To overcome these limitations, you can add a combo box to your worksheet, and use programming to make it appear in cells that contain a data validation list.

What is the difference between combobox and DropDownList?

A drop-down list is a list in which the selected item is always visible, and the others are visible on demand by clicking a drop-down button. A combo box is a combination of a standard list box or a drop-down list and an editable text box, thus allowing users to enter a value that isn't in the list.
