To fill without formatting, right-drag (rather than left-drag) the fill
handle down. When you release the button, you will be offered options, one
of which is "fill without formatting".

Problem:

In my spreadsheet there is a header row that I have put an underline on
using the format cells, boarders.

When I put data in the cell underneath it and try use the fill to create a
series of numbers it autofills but also fills the formatting
(boarder/underline) as well. The adjacent columns to the right do not do
this
when i fill a series.

Target solution:

To auto fill the column in question without bringing the underline/boarder
with it.
