please how can I generate A B C to Z serially and automatically in Excel
workbook?

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.

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

If you want the fill in lower case: a - z
just change the "64" to "96" in the formulas above

Max -

Just a little shorter version of each
=CHAR(ROW(A1)+64)
=CHAR(COLUMN(A1)+64)

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

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

Agreed <g , albeit it'll take me all of between 30 - 45 secs to get it down
right
(gotta hunt for the durned alphas on the keyboard, they're scattered all
over the place !)

For the alphabet challenged <g:

Turn on Caps Lock
Type a Q, press Enter
Continue across the keyboard, to type all the letters in a column
Select a cell in the list, and click the A-Z button on the Excel toolbar

But guys like me remove those darned icons from every machine in the plant.

They cause more trouble then they're worth.
