# AutoInput

Switches the AutoInput function on and off, which automatically completes entries, based on other entries in the same column. The column is scanned up to a maximum of 2000 cells or 200 different strings.

Deactivating Automatic Changes

To access this command...

Choose Tools - AutoInput.

The completion text is highlighted.

- To accept the completion, press \<item type=\"keycode\"\>Enter\</item\> or a cursor key.

- To append text or to edit the completion, press \<item type=\"keycode\"\>F2\</item\>.

- To view more completions, press CommandCtrl+Tab to scroll forward, or CommandCtrl+Shift+Tab to scroll backward.

- To see a list of all available AutoInput text items for the current column, press OptionAlt+Down Arrow.

When typing formulas using characters that match previous entries, a Help tip will appear listing the last ten functions used from \<emph\>Function Wizard\</emph\>, from all defined range names, from all database range names, and from the content of all label ranges.

AutoInput is case-sensitive. If, for example, you have written "Total" in a cell, you cannot enter "total" in another cell of the same column without first deactivating AutoInput.
