Excel List box

Excel List box, List/Combo boxes in Excel

At the moment, I have the basic list box established through data validation, but when I use the function it seems I have to always click down and click the item and only if it has been input earlier, would it autocomplete. I tried hitting down-arrow, but that just tosses me into the next row. Is there a way to do this data entry without having to use the mouse? Thanks

That way I would get the autocomplete function. I say "proposed" because there is an inconvenience when uploading the data into a database, as we have to delete those rows prior to the upload.
