Default Create a custom fill series or sorting order

I have created and added my "custom list" to my worksheet, How do I make
excel autofill from that list? I have typed these items in my worksheet and
as long as the cell I am typing in is directly adjacent to the list IT WILL
autofill. If I put space in between the list and the cell I want to autofill
then it will not fill. I'M CONFUSED

You have "autofil" and "autocomplete" confused.

Autofill uses a custom list to fill when you enter an item then drag/copy down
or across.

The months of the year are an example of an autofill list.

Autocomplete on the other hand does not use a list.......it uses the cells above
or below where you are typing and needs to be contiguous.
