RE: Search Bar

Hi Jay

Thanks for getting in touch. This is not built in to the Data Validation options in Excel but using various formulas you can create similar functionality. It's described very well here:

Excel tip:

Screen Splitters in Excel

Screen splitter icons can be set from the ribbon bar, or dragged from the scroll bars. The icon just above the up arrow on the right scroll bar controls the horizontal splitter; the icon to the right of the right arrow on the bottom scroll bar controls the vertical splitter.

These icons can be double-clicked to split the screen at the top left of the cell currently in use.
