Create Searchable menu
We have a business where we scan business cards for our clients. We give our clients an excel spreadsheet as the finished product. We want to create a way for our clients to be able to find a contact easily. We have looked at the forms option, but the client would have to set a few things up (like putting the forms button on the tool bar, etc.). Our Clients just want to use the info we have provided them. We just want to make it easy for them to find the data. I would assume that some of the Excel experts out there may have already written an application to do this simple task. What is the easiest way to do this without macros or code. Are there other functions with basic commands in excel to do this. Can a menu be created and inserted at the top of the sheet that could search the columns & rows in the sheet to find a contact.

As you see...
As you see, hitting the "Save" button does "post" your post ;-)
In the top left Corner of the Website there is a "Request a Quote" link which will, I assume, get the owners of the list to contact you with a Quote. You will have to be a bit more specific with your requirements as at first glance it Looks like you just Need a simple ribbon enhancement in order to provide a simple "filter" and/or "search" facility. Probably it would be best to provide a sample file with sample, not real, data in order to get a better feel for the requirements. I don't want to say "easy" when it might turn out to be a day or more work once the scope is known.
If the owners of the Forum are busy and don't have the capacity, then I'm sure someone like myself can help.
