Excel auto fill just doesn't seem to work!
- Nov 30, 2020
Click on the “File” tab (from 2010) and then on “(Excel) Options”.
Switch to the “Advanced” category, activateor deactivate the “Enable fill box
and drag & drop cells” option in the “Editing options” section (from 2010)
and click “OK” to confirm.
I would be happy to know if I could help.

Hi, I have mark all this correct and it doesn't work. this problem I have from time to time, completely randomly. Usually I can auto fill cells, but like i.ex now, it fills with first number in first column and I have no even option of "cell filling" just formatting options. Restart of Office or computer doesn't solve, it change itself when it want. I don't have update pending. What should be the solution here? I use excel daily and this situations are taking my day of work or more,
out.
