Remove autofill formulas

I have tried to remove / disable autofill formulas in excel 365. Following instructions in Options / Proofing and Advanced, but still not removing every time I enter a formula it fill it in rows or columns.... So frustrating

    SivFOR I'm using Excel 365 but don't have "Options / Proofing and Advanced".

    To disable the creation of so-called calculated columns in structured tables, you need to uncheck the box "Fill formulas....." on the "Autoformat As You type" tab, shown in the screen-shot below.

    If this is not what you are trying to achieve, please include a screen-shot of the window with the setting you refer to.

        SivFOR That's odd. It works for me all the time. With the box checked AutoFill works as intended. Uncheck the box and Autofill will not occur.
