    You've probably noticed a typo in the flash fill example on the phone number. I wrote 2475 at the end of the first number and it should have been 7890. Flash fill couldn't recognize the pattern and when I copied it down, it kept the 2475 at the end and didn't notice 😳 I've updated the practice sheet so it is correct. Sorry about any confusion.

    Clear video, my compliments. However, if I use the keyboard shortcut ctrl + E in my Excel 2019, Excel will read the cell in question. When I add flashfill to the quick access toolbar and stand on the icon it shows the shortcut Ctrl + E. But it does not work.
    Do you have a solution for this problem?

    Thanks for the tips on flash fill. What if I want to add a prefix like mailto: before email addresses in the same column. How do I flash fill the entire column?

    Hello Jamie. I like your way of teaching. Thanks for your lessons. I have a question though. In the flashfill, the phone numbers are incorrect as the last 4 digits are repeated in the rows after Flashfill.

      Thanks, when I did it, I hurried through it. I should have filled another row to help the pattern.

      @@TeachersTechoh! i tried it now. that won't be necessary i guess. as you have entered the last 4 digits 2475 in the first row, which is not in the data. thats's the reason it showed the error. when i tried to enter the first row correctly. the rest are coming in line.

    I've watched so many videos on flash fill and I'm currently taking a course at my local library on Excel. Everybody is telling me that you only have to type in the first thing of a list, however it only seems to work for me if I type in the first two. Is this because of an update that happened? I was also told that if you type directly into a cell the second thing in a list should start to appear after typing the first couple of letters, but that never seems to work for me.

    Thank you for this video. It's super helpful. Expanding on what Flash Fill can do, is it possible to have Excel auto-fill two cells?
    For example, I have three separate cells (A,B,C). In "A," I have FULL NAMES; in "B," First Names; and in "C," Last names only. But I really don't want to do CTRL+E every single time, especially if there's a change to a single name down the line. I would like to have it where I can type the Full Name on "A" and it auto detect and Fills-In B and C with First and Last on the assing cell.
    Do you know if this is too much for excel? Am I just dreaming...

      I had a typo on the first line and didn't notice. The first number needed to be corrected; the last four digits didn't match, so it couldn't find the pattern.

    Why didn't the phone numbers do the same number at the end? They all had 2475 at the end. 🤨

    • @TeachersTech

      I wrote the wrong phone number on the first line and it didn't match. On the practice file I had 2475 at the end, should have been 7890. Just make the change on the sheet and it should work.
