Thanks in advance for your help.

I have Enable Autocomplete for cell values checked in Options/Edit. If I am
entering in the next blank row in the column that has the text it auto
completes. If i skip a row or go to another column it does not do the auto
complete. Doesn't it look at the entire worksheet when it auto completes?

Thanks,

Sarah

Hi!

Doesn't it look at the entire worksheet when it auto completes?

No. As you've experienced, it only works on contiguous ranges.

You are right.To add to that

Autocomplete works only on rows and not on columns
Autofilter alos does not work on balnks
For example,when you have values from a1:a10 and then
form a150:a200,when you use autofilter, the values from
a1:a10 is only displayed
Also,you cannot cut and paste data in autofilter mode

If you selected A1:A200, then applied data|filter|autofilter, you'd see all the
items in A1:A200--no matter if you had blanks or not.

But if you leave the range to filter up to excel, it'll guess that your data
stops when it sees that blank row. (I never let excel guess at those kinds of
ranges.)
