There are two ways to make drop down list in Excel:
Data validation list
Combobox form control
Now in my project I have Data validation dropdown lists wich can be too long and I want to add search functionality for it. I've find some solutions but only for combobox control, which not applicable for my Excel document, because theese dropdown lists should be repeated in each row:
Is there any possible solution to add search functionality to datavalidation dropdown list?

I have been doing a Canvas App where I puta a Dropdown associated to SharePoint List (1), that contains all the items that I would like to choose in one row each, this is intended to choose the right column for another SharePoint List (2). For this I want to put a value in a Text Input and Patch the SharePoint List (2), by using SharePoint List (1) as my Column and Text Input as my Value.
As long as the names in the drop downs match your datasource names correctly you shouldn't have an issue achieving this.
Assuming below dropdown 2 is your sharepoint lists (2), Dropdown 1 is your column to patch (1) and TextInput1 is your value you wish to patch
Patch(Dropdown2.SelectedText.Value,Defaults(Dropdown2.SelectedText.Value),{Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value:TextInput1.Text})
I am trying to create a "searchable dropdown list" in Excel
Essentially, instead of the user choosing from one of 100 items in a dropdown list, I want them to be able to type in a few letters, and only the results matching that will show up in the dropdown.
I've come across two solutions:
the FILTER function, which is only coming available to my version of Excel in July
Pivot tables, which are quite clunky (changes colors, column sizes, etc. when I touch it)
Are you aware of any other options for a searchable dropdown list?
Thank you

Trying to do a two way I don't think is going to work in the way you are trying so I am not surprised the examples you found were for one-way. I am open to being corrected.
You could hack around it for example using two form control listboxes linked to the same cell so a selection in one updates the other.
Then because an item might be out of view listbox underneath have two cells which use the linked cell to index back into the source lists.
In the example above, there are two list boxes from form controls in developer tab (customize ribbon > add developer tab.
Developer tab form control - 2nd from the right
You add two of these in to the sheet.
Right click format control on each one
Set the input range to the range containing your list of values for that listbox and set the linked cell e.g. G1
Ensure that whilst you select different input ranges for each list box, they should have the same linked cell e.g. G1.
Underneath the listboxes put a formula which uses the linked cell G1 to index back into the source lists for each listbox so you can retrieve the selected value and have it visible, in case not visible within listbox.
Example testing:
I have a Requirement Where a bundle of Items needs to be displayed in the Drop-Down List. The Problem for me is, because there are so many Items inside it, I need to Use Combobox over List-Box. The Reason for that is, if I know the name of the item, I can type in the search box of the drop-down and get my Item, Combo-Box allows you to do that. But the List Box doesn't allow the User Input.
Now, Because there are some which names cannot be remembered, I need to use the Scroll bar in the drop-down to pick up the time. This is hectic, to select a single Item. I would like to have the facility of Using a Multi-select in this case.
So the Requirements are below:
1) A Drop-Down that allows the user to type in part of the Input(Say Ref for Refreigerator)
2) A Drop-Down that allows the Multi-select.
Obviously, I don't want to have two drop-downs Splitting the data.
I am open to other Suggestions.
Please Share your thoughts.
I have a standard list in SharePoint, one column of which is of type Person or Group.
When I'm viewing the list from a standard view, the dropdown filter for that column lists, as expected, only those people who are already listed as a value for at least one row.
However, when I view the list from a datasheet view, the dropdown filter lists all of the groups and users on the entire site instead of just those users who are values on the list.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to configure the datasheet-view dropdown list to only show those users that are listed in a field?
