EXCEL HAS AN AUTOFILL FUNCTION
IT WILL SHOW WHEN A CELL HAS
THE SAME INFORMATION.
IF YOU PRESS ENTER ON THE

KEYBOARD, IT WILL FILL IN THE CELL
WITH THAT INFORMATION.

BUT IN THIS CASE, WE WANT TO TYPE A
DIFFERENT NAME INTO THAT CELL.

SO WE WILL IGNORE THE AUTOFILL AND
CONTINUE TYPING.

THE AUTOFILLED NAME WILL DISAPPEAR.

ONCE COMPLETED, THIS IS WHAT YOUR SPREADSHEET WILL LOOK LIKE
ADJUST THE SIZE OF COLUMN A TO FIT ALL THE NAMES

TYPE IN THE NUMBERS SHOWN
UNDER “Score for Test 1”

AFTER TYPING IN A NUMBER IN ONE
CELL, PRESS ENTER ON THE KEYBOARD

TO AUTOMATICALLY MOVE TO THE
CELL BELOW IT

TYPE IN THE NUMBERS SHOWN
UNDER “Score for Test 2”
