How to create a custom list in MS Excel 2010

If you are using the same entries all over again, you can create a custom list with these entries and when you need it just enter the first one then drag the cell down for the rest to fill out automatically.

1.
 

In MS Excel, click the File tab.

 
 
2.
 

Click Options on the left.

 
 
3.
 

Click Advanced.

 
 
4.
 

Click Edit Custom Lists...

 
 
5.
 

Let's now create a new custom list the "manual way".

Click NEW LIST.


 
 
6.
 

And in List entries, enter what ever you want in your list.

I'm going to enter some names, just press Enter to add a new entry. You can use more then one word for one entry.

Click Add when done.

 
 
7.
 

And the list is done.

 
 
8.
 

Another way to add entries to a new lists is to import them from an existing Excel document.

Again, click NEW LIST.

 
 
9.
 

Click the Import list from cells field.

 
 
10.
 

In your document, select the cells you want in your new custom list ...

 
 
11.
 

... and click Import.

 
 
12.
 

And that's it, the list has been made.

Click OK when done. Close the settings window.

 
 
13.
 

Let's now see how our new custom lists works.

Enter the first entry from your list, click and hold the cell's right-bottom corner. ...

 
 
14.
 

... and just drag it in any direction you want your entries to appear.

It's basically a regular excel auto-fill option.
