Cell Recognise Whole Word from its Initial

Hello there,

I require in Column R & S only in “DataInput” sheet, when I wrote in cell.
w then automatic comes Winner & l for Looser.

Require VBA coding.

Regards, Rahul

Right click the tab for your DataInput sheet and select "View Code" from the popup menu that appears, then copy/paste the following code into the code window that opens up...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  If Target.Count = 1 And (Target.Column = 18 Or Target.Column = 19) Then
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Select Case Target.Value
      Case "L", "l": Target.Value = "Loser"
      Case "W", "w": Target.Value = "Winner"
    End Select
    Application.EnableEvents = True
  End If
End Sub

The above event code should now work the way you want.

Mr. Rick Many many thanks for your help and time.

Another alternative which avoids VBA that might be of interest to you.
Set up Data Validation in these two columns, with the two options of "Winner" and "Loser".
Then, they wouldn't need to type anything, just select the option they want.

That's fine. I just mentioned it because I see many people ask for VBA because they are not always aware of the non-VBA options that might exist.
Keep in mind that you could also just have a running list somewhere in Excel (like on a hidden sheet), and the Data Validation can reference that list.
Either way, you are going to be typing an initial list in Excel or in VBA.
