Is there are a way to combine the following calculation so it is searchable? By that I mean the cell that uses this validation to narrow down when to start to type?



=OFFSET(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($F16," ","")),0,0,COUNTA(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($F16," ","")&"Col")),1)

All helpful ideas welcome

Perhaps post a sample sheet ( no pics please)
A formula with three volatile functions is not really recommended

Hi and welcome
Please,do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
If you have fewer than 10 posts here, you will not be able to post a link, but you must still tell us where else you have asked the question
