This is just a suggestion.

It would be great if the syntax was a little more forgiving. Example:

longsword [1,keen,cold iron] is correct.

however, I often (while quickly typing as my DM is rattling off loot) type something like this:
longsword [1, keen, cold iron] which won't work, as it doesn't like spaces after the commas.

also, is it possible to have it "pop up" suggestions when typing item? Like I type "Sc" and it starts showing me all the items that start with Sc below (like google search suggestions do). I recognizing this might be asking for a lot out of excel, so once again, I'm just making a suggestion.

Thanks for all your hard work, I love the loot divider!

This sounds like a lost of VBA, which the Loot Divider is meant to steer clear from so it's compatible with other spreadsheets.

A most excellent idea!!!!
I've modified the LD to be more forgiving for leading/trailing spaces:
Ex: This won't cause any problems -> dagger [1, bane , keen , frost , flaming , holy ]
This will be available in the next update! Excellent suggestion! thank you!

I'd like that as well, but the combo boxes are under the control of Excel (I'm not sure this is even possible in VBA). As a work around, I posted this trick to get to items faster...

If you really want to thank me, just let others know about it by writing a review for it on sites like paizo or dtrpg!

Thanks!!

I already wrote a review on Paizo, and dtrpg won't allow you to write a review without a purchase first. But I have been spreading the word among my gamer friends.

Thanks again,

As I mentioned previously, this is actually handled by Excel itself - which it is not doing/allowing as far as I know.
BUT!
The next update of the LD will feature a Quick Pick button to help you select items faster - provided you are using the 32 bits version of Excel.
