Hi Dermot,
Thanks, Use of newsgroups certainly helps learn English even for those whose
only language is English, and it helps to improve making oneself clear.

Along the lines of what you were originally trying to you might look
at use of the Fillhandle and the mouse at
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/fillhand.htm
but as indicated before you want to use a macro for this.

Also look at the Tutorials at
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel....htm#tutorials
among which I would suggest looking at the Data Pig Technologies
Flash presentations. They are just a few minutes each and Mike
Alexander did a very good job on them.

As far as recognizing decent macros from newsgroups and in
writing your own I would suggest looking over

Thank you very much for the reply and links David.

I did not intend to be ambiguous, but when I read over my question again it
is very vague. Being a beginner to excel, and excel being complex I just want
to ensure I learn good methods of presentation as well as content in the
speadsheets I make up. I have seen some complex spreadsheets by some people
and to me they are awful to look at.

Thanks again for your time and explanations
Dermot
