    Auto Complete from patterns from different column

    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to set autocomplete for a cell from a pattern from a different column. Ex:

    Column A:
    Frank
    George
    Gary
    Helen
    Thomas
    Grace

    Cell B1 - I would begin typing "ge" and the cell autocomplete "George".

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Re: Auto Complete from patterns from different column

    This is an inherent function of Excel when you are working in the same column (e.g. if you would type "ge" in A7).
    Maybe you can copy the names to column B (above or below where you want the autocomplete to work). If you want, you can hide those copied cells (format cells -> custom -> type ;;; ).
