what is "fill handle". i don't see any fill handle in my excel
The "fill handle" is the small square at the bottom right-hand corner of a
cell. If you hover the cursor over it the cursor will change into black crosshairs - don't be confused with the four headed arrow cursor that you get when on the edge of a cell, that will actually move the cell cot copy the formula. With the blackbcrosshairs showing, left click and drag in the direction you wish. -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Neelakanta" wrote in message ... what is "fill handle". i don't see any fill handle in my excel. can any one guide me in the usage of this fill handle please?

what is "fill handle". i don't see any fill handle in my excel
If you mean a series of numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4 etc then put 1 in the first
cell, 2 in the second and highlight both and drag down or along as the case may be on the fill handle of the 2nd cell. If you mean copy the formula in the first cell to a range then with a formula - say =A1+B1 then simply drag down on the fill hande. The formula will index uplike: =A1+B1 =A2+B2 =A3+B3 If you want one of the cells to remain constant - say in this example the cell A1 then make it an absolute reference like: =$A$1+B1 =$A$1+B2 =$A$1+B13 If this is not what you want then post back with more details for what you are trying to do. -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Neelakanta" wrote in message ...

what is "fill handle". i don't see any fill handle in my excel
Thanks Sandy for replying soon. The things that u have described in the
privious post are familiar to me. The question is that without dragging the "Fill paddle" how can i easily fill the numbers.(e.g. if i need to drag about 7000 numbers then it takes time. Isn't it? )in this case the easy thing is that choose the entire column suppose "A" enter no. 1 and then go to edit- fill- series- here type the desired stop value and press enter. that's it! u will get the numbers until the specified stop value. But this works only if u select the entire row . i need this feature to be worked in the middle of the row also ........... can u help me please......... Thanks in Advance.

Hi Neelakanta,
Maybe this is what you are looking for. Type A25:A7000 in the name box and then tap enter, (the range A25:A7000 will be highlighted) Type 1 and tap enter, (A25 will show 1 and A26 will become the active cell) Then go to EditFillSeries set your options and tap OK HTH Martin "Neelakanta" wrote in message ...

Hi,
Sandy's way is simpler, although they are basically the same, anyway try it like this, Click in the Name box and type A25:A65 and hit enter. Type 50 and hit enter go to EditFillSeries and tap OK A25:A65 will show the numbers 50 to 90 incrementing by 1 each time.
