i have a spread sheet that has 2070 rows. would like to have a drop down menu based on a condensed list (107) that when selected will auto find the first row of the condensed list. i saw that someone had posted a VBA that would do what i am after but now i can't find it.
1. the condensed list is on sheet 'code #' column BT1:BT106
2. the drop down list is on sheet 'LABOR HRS BY DATE' A1
3. and the search column is A16:A2070

I cannot reduce the condensed list any further and cannot reduce the number of rows either. and the columns go out to "BGO"

found my answer in an older post, thank you

[Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim vFIND As Range
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then
If Range("A1") = "" Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
Set vFIND = Range("A14:A2069").Find(Range("A1").Value, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If Not vFind Is Nothing Then
vFIND.Select
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = Selection.Row
End If
End If
End Sub]
