I am looking to make a drop down list using a table as the source using a wildcard. For example: Based on the table below, I want a drop down to list only Companies with "IL" in the cell.
| Company Code |
| IL123 |
| IN123 |
| OH123 |
| IL456 |
| OH456 |
| IL789 |
So the drop down would list below
| IL |
| IL123 |
| IL456 |
| IL789 |
Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

Hi Kenneth,
Here is a solution without VBA and only with formulas ; Drop down list et Named area.

Thank you so much! This helps a lot!
I just had to translate the functions, I didn't know it was a different language until I looked it up :-p
It looks like you had your data source sorted, I was hoping I didn't have to do that. But this is probably be the easiest way. I can definitely work with this though!
So just in case someone wanted a English translation for the Formula.
NOTE! I was using a table as the source, so I didn't need the Named Range as in the attachment. Table2[Company Code] is what you would need to change to a regular range.
=OFFSET(Table2[Company Code],MATCH($K$1 &"*",Table2[Company Code],0)-1,,COUNTIF(Table2[Company Code],$K$1 &"*"))
Again, thank you very much Lionel!
