Autofilling Table Cells

With autofilling you can use the content in one or more cells to automatically add
values to adjacent cells.

Here are ways to autofill table cells:
To paste the content and fill of a cell into adjacent cells, select the cell and then drag

m

the Fill handle (a tiny circle in its lower-right corner) over the cells into which you want
to paste.
When you place the pointer over the Fill handle, it appears as a large plus sign (+),
indicating that you can begin to drag across the cells you want to fill. Any data, cell
format, formula, or fills associated with the selected cell are pasted. If any target cell
contains data, autofilling overwrites that data with the value you're repeating.
