Excel autocomplete works only if the value is previously entered into the
same column, and there are no blank cells between the values and the current cell.. The match that Excel fetches is nothing but the contents of the immediately adjacent cells above the one in which you are entering the data. --It stops trying to match entries when a blank cell is reached. Incase you have information from A1 to A5 and then from A7 to A10; if you make a new entry in A11, excel only try to match entries in A7:A10. --The cells must contain either text or a combination of text and numbers. Cells that contain numerics, dates, or times are not considered. -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "John" wrote: Open office org - while working on excel sheet, prompting of words helps a lot in reducing the time of work.
