About This Feature

Overview

Fill is a spreadsheet editing feature in WPS Office for Android that helps you extend existing cell content quickly on a mobile device. After you select a cell, you can enter Fill from the floating edit bar and drag directional arrows up, down, left, or right to apply the result to adjacent cells.

Its core tasks include:

Start Fill: select a cell, enter Fill mode, and drag in four directions to populate nearby cells.
Switch Fill mode: change between Copy Fill and Series Fill to control whether the result copies the same value or continues a pattern.

This feature is useful for repeated data entry, numbering, date extension, and quick spreadsheet cleanup on mobile. Before using it, check the target range to avoid replacing existing content.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On Android spreadsheets, WPS lets you open Fill from the floating edit bar, drag arrows in four directions, and switch between Copy Fill and Series Fill.	Excel Auto Fill lets users drag the fill handle to copy data or continue a pattern, and then choose Auto Fill Options if needed.	The official Google Docs Gemini page focuses on drafting, refining, summarizing, and asking questions in documents rather than spreadsheet cell fill behavior.	Notion Autofill can generate summaries, extract information, translate content, and fill database properties with AI in database workflows.	Acrobat can save personal information and use it to fill form fields automatically in PDF forms.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS applies copy fill and series fill directly to spreadsheet cell ranges on Android, which fits touch-based mobile spreadsheet editing.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance centers on the fill handle and Auto Fill Options, which are commonly described in desktop spreadsheet workflows; WPS highlights touch dragging and four-direction fill on Android.	Compared with WPS: this Google page is about AI writing in Docs, not spreadsheet sequence filling; WPS is more aligned with mobile spreadsheet data extension.	Compared with WPS: Notion Autofill targets AI-generated database property values rather than traditional spreadsheet sequence fill across cells; WPS is more direct for spreadsheet ranges.	Compared with WPS: Adobe autofill is designed for PDF forms and saved profile data, not spreadsheet sequence extension; WPS is more suitable for spreadsheet data expansion.

Overall Conclusion

If you mainly work with repeated values and number or date sequences in spreadsheets on Android, WPS Fill is closely matched to mobile touch interaction. The other products also provide autofill or automation features, but they focus on desktop spreadsheets, AI writing in documents, database properties, or PDF forms rather than the same spreadsheet task.

Use Cases

1	Continue numbering	Students, assistants, office staff	Manual numbering takes time	Use Series Fill to continue number sequences quickly
2	Copy repeated values	Sales and operations users	The same content must be entered many times	Use Copy Fill to write repeated values into adjacent cells
3	Extend dates or cycles	Scheduling and reporting users	Date entry is easy to mistype	Use Series Fill to continue date patterns
4	Edit spreadsheets on the go	Field staff and mobile workers	Batch editing on a phone is less efficient	Use the floating edit bar to complete fill actions directly
