Default Tools Options Custom Lists

Hello
Custom lists allows you to create personnal (custom) list items which you
can then increment in a worksheet.
Say for example you create a list of towns and sort them alphabetically,
when you input one item in a cell and drag the cell down, Excel will
automatically fill in with the following items in the list.
Hope this helps

Cordially

Default Tools Options Custom Lists

A custom list is used to control sorting order when you don't
want the sort to be in alphabetical order. For example, there is
a custom list of month names, so that month names will sort in
calendar, not alphabetical, order. You can create your own lists.
Suppose you have a sales worksheet that lists sales by region,
North, South, East, and West. If you sort on the sales region
column normally, the rows will order by East, North, South, then
West, in alphabetical order. If you want to sort in another
order, you'd create a list like North, South, East, and West,
then instruct the Sort command to use that list. The data will be
sorted in that order.
