Fill Handle in Excel

Question

Greetings community! I am a beginner in Excel, using 2007 version. I'm trying to fill the column with days and it doesn't. Why?? I think I tried everything, and the settings from the file menu are all properly selected. Thank you for your time.

giota12345&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you hoping the days will be filled as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...?&nbsp;If so, fill the first two cells with Monday, Tuesday....and then drag the fill handle down. You have to give a hint as to what the progression is that you're expecting.

mathetes&nbsp; Yes I did it and copied Monday Tuesday.. the options fill day, month etc are disable as you can see in my attachments .

giota12345&nbsp;&nbsp;I think somehow we're mis-communicating. Are you copying or dragging the fill handle down? What did the numbers in column B represent, in your first images? Are they in any way related to the names of the days desired?

mathetesI'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I am a beginner and do some practice with fill handle. The column B is irrelevant to column A. In column B I wanted to fill series on number 8 added 8, and it was ok, I hadn't any problem. In column A I am trying to fill the days and doesn't work, only copy. Maybe is not available in Excel 2007.
