Learn how to use the powerful AUTOFILL feature in Google Sheets to quickly and easily fill in data in your spreadsheets.
Autofill allows you to replicate a series of data, such as a list of dates or a set of formula results, by dragging a handle to the end of the data range.
To use autofill in Google Sheets, first select the cells that you want to fill in. Then, hover your cursor over the bottom-right corner of the selected cells until you see a small blue box, known as the fill handle. Click and hold on the fill handle, and then drag it to the end of the range where you want to fill in the data.
You can also use the autofill feature to fill in custom data, such as a list of names or a set of formulas. To do this, simply type in the data that you want to replicate and then use the fill handle to drag the data to the desired range.
In addition to filling in data, the autofill feature in Google Sheets also allows you to copy formatting from one cell to another. To copy formatting using autofill, simply select the cell with the desired formatting, and then use the fill handle to drag the formatting to the cells that you want to apply it to.
Overall, the autofill feature in Google Sheets is a quick and easy way to replicate data and formatting in your spreadsheets, saving you time and effort.
This autocomplete function can not only save you time. It can protect you from typos, or simple miscalculations when you need to have a consistent range of:
✅ dates
✅ numbers
✅ months
✅ days of the week
It's a neat way to tell Google: "here's how my range starts. Now, you do the rest."
