Custom Lists in Microsoft Excel

This PowerPoint is part of our 60 Second Tips series

Excel already has some lists such as days of the week and months of the year. Start by typing the first word and using the fill handle to drag to adjacent columns or rows.

However, you can create your own custom list(s), by selecting a list as shown below. Then select File…

Then select Options

Then select Advanced.

At the bottom of the Advanced options click on Edit Custom Lists

If you already selected your list, the range will show here. Click on Import.

Your list will appear in the List Entries. Click OK, then OKagain.

Type any word in the list and use the Fill Handle at the bottom right hand corner of the cell. Left click and hold and drag out the list…

…let go of the Fill Handle and your list names will appear.
