Create a "Custom List" and you'll be able to autofill it.
For some reason, Redmond chose not to include the alphabet in the default custom lists file, but you can easily do it yourself. Key in the alphabet down a column. Case doesn't matter, since XL will duplicate the autofill in whatever case you initiated the sequence. Select the range containing the letters, and then: <Tools <Options <CustomLists, And since the cells were selected, the address of the range is automatically entered in the import window, so just click <Import <OK. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Maxwell" wrote in message ... please how can I generate A B C to Z serially and automatically in Excel workbook? |

Another way to try ..
Filling A - Z down ------------- Put in any starting cell: =CHAR(ROWS($A$1:A1)+64) Copy down 26 rows Filling A - Z across ------------- Put in any starting cell: =CHAR(COLUMNS($A$1:A1)+64) Copy across 26 cols -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "Maxwell" wrote in message ... please how can I generate A B C to Z serially and automatically in Excel workbook? |

=CHAR(ROWS($A$1:A1)+64)
=CHAR(COLUMNS($A$1:A1)+64) If you want the fill in lower case: a - z just change the "64" to "96" in the formulas above -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- |

Max -
Just a little shorter version of each =CHAR(ROW(A1)+64) =CHAR(COLUMN(A1)+64) "Max" wrote in message ... Another way to try ..

Duke, thanks. The slightly longer versions were to make it a little more
robust, in case new rows / columns are inserted above / left of the starting cell subsequently. It's something I picked up here along the way, which has since got a little "stuck-on" as a personal practice, I guess <g -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "Duke Carey" <duke_No_Junk_carey_at_hotmail.com wrote in message ...

![]() BTW - FWIW, None of these formula solutions will *automatically* work (be imported) into Custom Lists. You have to clear the formulas from the cells before XL will accept them into a list. Now, the OP asked for A ... Z I think keying in 26 letters down a column *AIN'T* really that difficult. What do you think?<bg -- Regards, RD -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit ! -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Max" wrote in message ...
