How to create a Dynamic Search Suggestion Drop Down List in Excel

In this video tutorial, learn how to create a dynamic Google-type search suggestion drop-down list in Excel.

This technique shows you how to create a searchable drop down list in excel by using a mix of Excel Formulas and VBA. You will learn how to create dynamic search bar where it will show a list of all the matching records as you type.

The idea here to have a searchable drop-down list where you type a few characters of a text string and it shows you all the matching values.

This is inspired by the Google auto-suggest feature that shows relevant search results and also helps save time.

As soon as you type a few characters in the search box (which is a combo box), the search box shows you all the matching results. You can then select any of the results and that will be populated in the search box.

This technique uses a VBA code in the back-end, so you need to make sure your Excel file is saved as a macro-enabled file.

Also, this is a way to create a searchable drop-down list in Excel, but it sometimes tends to act funny. Also, it's best to use it when you have less number of records only. With a high number of records, it can slow down, or even worse, hang.
