7-FlashFill Examples

The document demonstrates how to use Excel's Flash Fill feature to automatically fill in data across columns based on patterns it detects. Sample data on customers is input across several columns and Flash Fill is able to deduce relationships between columns like First Name and Last Name and fill in full names. It notes that providing more than one example sometimes helps Flash Fill recognize patterns more accurately.
