ENTERING FRACTIONS

1. To enter a mixed number, leave a space between the whole number and the

fraction.

(Example 1 1/8).

2. To enter a fraction only, type in a zero first. (Example: 0 ¼) If you enter ¼ without the

zero. Excel will interpret the number as a date.

number as -100

name, as it does in the names of the others that are drinking

coffee.ANSWER

USING AUTOCOMPLETE

The autocomplete function helps to enter data easily. It can be used when entering

labels down a column.

Automatically repeat values or data that already exist in the column

If the first few characters that you type in a cell match an existing entry in that column,

Excel

automatically enters the remaining characters for you.

LIMITATIONS of AUTOCOMPLETE

Excel automatically completes only those entries that contain text or a combination of text and numbers. Entries that contain only numbers, dates, or times are not

automatically completed.

It only works for data being entered in columns, and not for those entered across a

row.

It only applies for columns of continuous data, as soon as gap is left in a column,

Autocomplete stops.
