How do I get cells auto fill typing
1) The cell that you are trying to autocomplete must be contiguous with the other cells with the
values that you want to use in your autocomplete. So you cannot choose A4 and use autocomplete if
you want to fill with values from A1 and A2, and A3 is empty.
2) The value must be identifiably unique for the autocomplete to kick in.
For example, if you had these two strings in cells A1 and A2
Autocomplete Value that is unique starting at unique
Autocomplete Value that is not unique until the word not
A3 will not show an autocomplete value until you get to the u for the first "unique" or the n for
"not"
Another option is to right-click the cell and pick "Choose from List"

I know it's possible for cells to automatically fill in typing that is
identical to cells in the same column, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I've tried the following: Tools...Options...Edit...Enable Auto Complete...OK.
This doesn't work. Any other ideas?
