    Customize autofill

    Hi all,
    In Excel Help it is:
    "If the first few characters that you type in a cell match an existing entry in that column, Excel automatically enters the remaining characters

    Instead of that column

    Is it possible somehow to extend the range to another column in a different sheet?

    Thanks in advance

    Re: Customize autofill

    I don't think that is possible.. But maybe you can let Autofill generate the desired result, and maybe copy it to the sheet you need..

    This probably can be done with VBA, where you put the main list in a Combo Box, which suggests you words based on the initial characters.
