Autofill "Weekdays etc" not working (not in English)

Copper Contributor

Hi, 

I'm using US English as a default language in Office 365 and Windows 10. However, keyboard input, date and time is Swedish. 

 

There's some kind of conflict because I can't autofill English words such as "Weekdays" etc. 

 

I've tried to put everything in English 'everywhere'. Any ideas, friends? :)

Hi

Date format and settings are controlled by the central settings of the Windows Operating System:

Start button (Windows Button) >> Settings Gear >>Time and Language >> Date , Time & Regional Formatting >> You make changes here.

 

on the Other hand , AutoFill Options are controlled by the "Custom Lists".

Excel comes by default with 4 built in Custom Lists (Months & Weekdays, Full & Abbreviated). If because of the Language settings, you do not have the built-in Custom lists, then, You can Create them by going to the File Tab:

 

File >> Excel Options >> Advanced (Shortcut ALT, F, T) >> Edit Custom Lists>> here you can either type each list  under List Entries (each value on a different line) then hit ADD or if you already have the Values in the Worksheet you can select them and hit Import

Hope that Helps

Hi,

 

The source of the weekday's autofill feature is this window:

To find it, go to Options >> Advanced >> General >> Edit Custom Lists

 

Please check it out and see how it looks like.

I had the same problem. To confirm, this worked. Thanks
