Create Your Own Custom List

Here is how you can create your own custom list in Microsoft Excel:

1. Open a new or existing worksheet in Excel.
2. Enter the data that you want to include in your custom list into a single column of cells.
3. Select the cells containing the data.
4. Go to the "File" menu and select "Options".
5. In the "Excel Options" dialog box, select "Advanced".
6. Scroll down to the "General" section and find the "Edit Custom Lists" option.
7. Click the "Import" button.
8. Excel will automatically import the selected data and create a new custom list based on that data.
9. To use your custom list, simply select a cell, go to the "Data" tab, and click on the "Sort & Filter" drop-down button.
10. From the drop-down menu, select "Sort A-Z" or "Sort Z-A". Excel will sort the data based on your custom list.

You can create as many custom lists as you need, and they can be used in Excel to sort data, create drop-down lists, and more. By creating your own custom list, you can streamline your data entry and make working with data in Excel easier and more efficient.
