Using AutoFill in Excel (Best Practices)
Autofill in Microsoft Excel is a great tool that takes a lot of the work out of data entry. By using the Autofill button or simply dragging your cursor, you can automatically fill in cells in seconds. However, there is more to this feature than meets the eye.
You can use Autofill for simple tasks like filling in the days of the week. But you can extend this tool further and fill in dates, patterns, and formatting. In addition, you can fill cells with values that increase by a certain amount and even combine text from different rows.
Even if you’ve used Autofill before, check out these different ways to use the feature that you may not have known existed. That’s right, it’s time to get the most out of Excel’s Autofill feature.
