cell auto filled with dotsSolved/Closed

Question

Hello, 
I sow it once but not sure where and can't work out how to do it.
Basically, if I write things in excel, I need it to be auto filled with dots so that no space is left in the cell. I hope it is clear, but please let me know otherwise. I know it can be done because I've seen it before but didn't take a note at the time regretfully. Much appreciated

Hi Jutulu,

You mean something like this?:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim MyWidth As Currency

MyWidth = Target.ColumnWidth

Target.EntireColumn.AutoFit

If Target.ColumnWidth >= MyWidth Then
    Target.ColumnWidth = MyWidth
    Exit Sub
End If

Do
    Target = Target & "."
    Target.EntireColumn.AutoFit
Loop Until Target.ColumnWidth = MyWidth

End Sub 

Best regards,
Trowa

Hi Trowa,

I didn't want to use macros. However, there is a much easier way to do it. I sow it once and thought it was very cool, but never wrote it down and can't remember it. Thanks anyway. Hope can find the answer to it.

Great! It was just that. Thank a lot. Only, you mean to go to custom option at the bottom, not number
