I have entered a formula into M2. Now I want to fill it to the last column
which has data in it. When I double-click on the fill handle, I get what I
want.

However, when I record the action as a macro, I get:

Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("M2:M3085")

I don't want the range hard-coded, because the next time I use the macro the
number of rows will be different. When I change the range to
M2...end(xldown), I get M2:M65536.

How do I specify a range which has the same effect as double-clicking on the
fill handle?

Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("M2", _
Cells(rows.count,"L").End(xlup).Offset(0,1))

Assuming Column L is the adjacent column with data.

Sub Auto_Fill()
Dim Lrow As Long
With ActiveSheet
Lrow = Range("L" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("M2:M" & Lrow).FillDown
End With
End Sub
