Fill data question
When I select 2 or more cells and then use the fill handle to "fill"
the rest of the cells, it just copies the selected cells. If I use 1, 2, 3, 4, it will just copy 1, 2, 3, 4 over and over again. The fill handles just copies. Is there a fill option menu that I am unaware of? Thanks guys for answering this simple question. |

Fill data question
Right-click and drag then release and select "Fill Series".
Although I don't know whet the 1,2,3,4 will not fill when dragged down or across. A single cell with 1 will copy by default. Two cells with 1 and 2 will generally auto-fill.

Fill data question
"whet" could be interpreted as "why" if you choose.
