In this Microsoft Excel tutorial we are gonna learn how to use AutoFill in Excel with a Practical Example that can help you with the daily work tasks and activities.

Flash Fill in Excel is similar to Autofill, however, it will fill the values down based on a certain logic.

Once Excel sees a pattern in the data, that logic is derived automatically.

You can use flash fill in Excel, in different ways, for example:

Using the Excel shortcut key, Ctrl E.
Pull down the values with the fill handle and then select Flash Fill.
Go to Home, Fill, Flash Fill.
Start typing the 2nd value and once Excel recognizes the pattern, you will see the results shown in the cells in light grey and then, just press Enter.

You can only apply Flash Fill close and adjacent to your data set.

You can also apply Flash Fill one column at a time.

For example, to split first name and last name, you can do the first name first and then do the last name separately.

For Flash Fill to work, it also needs to recognize a pattern.

For really messy data, it might not find a consistent pattern.

If for some reason Excel doesn't show you the Flash Fill preview, it might be turned off in your Excel Options.

To make sure Flash Fill is turned On, you need to go to File, Options, Advanced, Editing Options (check mark the option Automatically Flash Fill).
