FAQ
Why can’t I find the Fill entry on Android?
- Make sure you opened a spreadsheet file rather than a Writer or Presentation file.
- Select one or more cells first.
- Check both Tools → Home → Fill and the floating menu bar for the Fill entry.
- If it still does not appear, update WPS Office and try again.
What is the difference between Copy Fill and Series Fill?
- Copy Fill repeats the original content in the target range.
- Series Fill recognizes a pattern, such as numbers, and continues it.
- Choose Copy Fill when you want the same content repeated.
- Choose Series Fill when you want numbering, dates, or another pattern to continue.
Will Fill replace my existing data?
- Yes. Fill writes data into the target range.
- Before you apply it, confirm whether the existing content in that range needs to be kept.
- If needed, duplicate the sheet first or undo the action and choose a different range.
How to fill a series on Android in WPS if the result looks wrong?
- Check whether the starting cells provide a clear pattern, such as consecutive numbers.
- Select the source cells again and drag to fill one more time.
- Tap Series Fill at the top of the fill action interface.
- If the result still does not match your expectation, use Copy Fill instead or add a second starting value before trying again.
