Excel 2016 from Scratch Exercise
Copy by Filling Right or Down
An Excel tutorial by Peter Kalmstrom
 Excel
has a very useful feature that is called the "fill", and
in this demo in the Excel 2016 from Scratch series, Peter
Kalmström shows how it works.
You can fill cell data into other cells either by dragging
with the mouse or by using the keyboard. Formulas, text,
numbers, formatting – everything will be copied.
