Excel Autofill Names

Ciara_Smith519 

In Excel, if you want to auto-fill a name down a column for a certain number of lines, you can use the fill handle. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Enter the Name:
• Type the name in the first cell of the column where you want to start the list.
2. Select the Cell:
• Click on the cell with the name to select it.
3. Hover Over the Fill Handle:
• Move your cursor to the bottom-right corner of the selected cell. You will see a small square called the "fill handle."
4. Drag Down:
• Click and drag the fill handle down to the desired number of lines. As you drag, Excel will automatically fill the cells with the same name.
5. Release the Mouse Button:
• Once you've dragged to the desired number of lines, release the mouse button.

This method is efficient for quickly populating a column with a repeated value. The fill handle is a powerful tool in Excel for extending or copying data.

Note: If you want to fill a sequence of names, you can also use a series by typing the starting name, dragging the fill handle, and selecting "Fill Series" from the context menu.
