Description jaredh 2004-10-14 15:23:01 UTC 
The autocomplete / selection picker helpers will look for and display the values
in the column we are working in.

It would be extremely useful if you could have the option of defining just where
they pull their data from. Also perhaps how many lines are displayed in the drop
down box.

This would be extremely useful for when you have a main database of items
already, and are doing vlookups, or hlookups based on cell values on other
sheets and need to exactly match an item.

from OOOforums, i have learned this is being handled under Data - Validity
which, in turn, is being worked on for v2

so, moot issue now IMHO

thanks

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
