Categorising expense items

[mikesmac]

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Hello,
I want to assig/categorise an expense type to all my current account payments. I would like to do this by assigning a standard expense to each item from a drop down menu. How to do this is the problem. I have tried List Manager but I think the standard list needs to be created each month on each worksheet. This seems awkward. Surely there is an easy way of doing this? Your help would really be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Look up "Autocomplete" in the Help. Particularly the topic "Enter a series
of numbers, dates, or other items"

I think you will find AutoComplete quicker than a drop-down list.

Hope this helps

Thank you for the reply John but it does not appear to be there. Typing "Autocomplete" in the Help search results in "no results found". I am using Excel 2004 for Mac.

Oh, trust me, it's there The topic I want you to look at is headed
"About storing and inserting frequently used text and graphics" ‹ I just
copied that out of the Excel 2004 Help.

I suspect you have not discovered that the OS 10.6 Help system tries to
click-jack everyone else's help these days, and you are not actually IN the
Excel help yet.

If you open the Apple Help, you then need to explicitly select "Excel help"
or all you get is the OS X help. A shatteringly stupid design, but that's
the way Steve Jobs made it...

Use the Help menu inside Excel...

Hope this helps
