Entering Data in a Table Using a Drop-Down List

Entering data in a list can be tedious and repetitive. You can enter data using the PickList or List AutoFill feature to make the job easier. PickList is activated once you have entered at least one record in the list; it uses your previous entries to save you the trouble of typing repetitive information. PickList displays previous entries made in the current field in a list format. List AutoFill automatically extends the list’s formatting and formulas to adjacent cells. As data is added to a list, AutoFill looks at the preceding cells to determine what formatting and formulas should be extended.
