Do you try giving more examples? I find it usually only takes a few corrections to get it right.

You can turn it off if you don't like it. https://superuser.com/questions/766967/how-can-i-turn-off-fl...

Thank you for your feedback. I would love to get more insights into your use cases---we can use them as inspiration as we continue to improve the technology in this space. Please feel free to send us your use cases where Flash Fill fails at [email protected].

You may consider watching this 5-minute video segment starting at 4:30 to get a sense of the current scope of Flash Fill (i.e., when it is expected to work, and when it isn't): <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1YXge3C8RI&t=270s>

You might be alone in that. Flash Fill saves me from doing so much manual work that I consider it a killer feature of Excel. I will never try another spreadsheet software until they get flash fill functionality (and I believe the feature is encumbered by patents, and hard to replicate anyways unless you are versed in program synthesis).

It's mostly correct in my experience, but maybe it's because I've learned what it can/can't do. And when it does what it is supposed to do, it can be very useful.
