    Not sure if I understand you correctly, but if you want to type FE in 1 cell (say A1), then in another cell (say B1) you want it to say FRIEND, then try this, copied down...

    =if(A1="FE","FRIEND","Enemy")

    That won't work. Autocorrect will only work in the active cell as you are entering data.

    Re: is it possible to fill replace autocorrect word in two cells if i type in one cell?

    You could create a two column list. The first column would have a "short form" and the second column would have what the short form stood for. This would the be accessed with VLOOKUP or INDEX MATCH formulae in the cells that you want to hold the data...not the cell where you are entering the short form as this would over-write any formula in the cell.

    More information is required before a "real" solution can be offered.

    Can you create a dummy sheet of what you expect and upload it so that the problem becomes more clear?

    What you want might be possible using VBA but I don't think that it is possible using worksheet functions. The closest that you can come is something like this:
