Creating Tables

The following table describes how different types of data are sorted in ascending or

descending order.

Autofilling

You can use the Autofilling feature to paste the contents of the upper-left cell in a

contiguous selection of cells to all other cells in the selection. Any text, number

formatting, or formula associated with the upper-left cell is pasted into all cells in the

selection. Background formatting is not affected. (See “Using Formulas” on page 110 to

learn about using formulas in table cells.)

If the upper-left cell is empty, autofilling clears all data from cells in the selection. Any

number formats or formulas associated with cells in the selection are changed to

match those of the upper-left cell.
