Many SEARCHABLE Drop-Down Lists in Excel (No VBA)

16 April 2020 Excel for Office 365 & Dynamic Arrays

I already shared a video on how you can create a SEARCHABLE drop-down list in Excel. The solution was for a SINGLE row. But now we'll take this to the next level and replicate the searchable drop-down list (which is a simple Excel data validation list) to MULTIPLE Excel rows without VBA and without combo-boxes. We'll be using the new excel Dynamic array functions which are a part of Excel for Office 365. With these functions we can create a data validation list that suggests search results based on the user input. The match is made based on any part of the text - the beginning, middle or end.

We'll use the the new FILTER function together with the SORT function. We'll combine these with legacy excel formulas like the SEARCH function (2:00) and the Transpose functions (8:30).

As a bonus we'll also cover the XLOOKUP formula (10:40)
