About This Feature

Overview

WPS Fill on iOS helps you fill spreadsheet cells faster by copying repeated content or extending simple number and date patterns. After you select a cell or range, you can open Fill from the floating editing bar and drag in four directions to apply the result.

Core tasks include:

Start Fill: open the fill state from the floating editing bar and drag a direction arrow to fill a target area.
Switch fill mode: change between Copy Fill and Series Fill during the fill process for different data-entry needs.

This feature is useful for batch numbering, extending date sequences, and copying the same content into nearby cells. Fill can overwrite existing data in the target area, so it is a good idea to check the destination before you apply it.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Fill entry in spreadsheets on iOS, supports dragging direction arrows up, down, left, and right, and lets you switch between Copy Fill and Series Fill after dragging.	Excel Auto Fill can fill cells with data that follows a pattern or is based on other cells, and users can drag the fill handle and choose Auto Fill Options.	The Google Docs product page focuses on collaborative document creation, templates, smart chips, and content blocks, and does not describe a directly equivalent spreadsheet cell fill workflow.	Notion Autofill is designed for database properties and can generate summaries, extract key information, translate content, or categorize entries rather than drag-fill spreadsheet cells.	Acrobat automatic fill is designed for PDF forms and can save commonly used information for future form filling rather than spreadsheet series expansion.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: direct four-direction fill in a mobile spreadsheet interface. Distinct: lets you switch between Copy Fill and Series Fill within the same fill flow.	Compared with WPS: Excel officially documents fill handles and Auto Fill Options for worksheet patterns, but the referenced guidance is centered on Excel worksheet behavior rather than an iOS floating-bar workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs emphasizes document collaboration and reusable content blocks, not spreadsheet-style series filling in cells on the referenced page.	Compared with WPS: Notion Autofill is better suited to AI-assisted database property generation than copying or incrementing adjacent spreadsheet cells.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat automatic fill is aimed at reusing form information in PDFs, not filling spreadsheet rows or columns with repeated or sequential values.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to copy values or extend simple sequences in a spreadsheet on iOS, WPS Fill is closely aligned with mobile spreadsheet entry. Excel also supports worksheet autofill patterns, while the referenced Notion and Adobe features focus on database generation or PDF form reuse instead of spreadsheet cell filling.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable For	Main Pain Point	How Fill Helps
1	Copying the same content in batches	Mobile office users	Nearby cells need the same text or number repeatedly	Use Fill and switch to Copy Fill to extend the same value across the target area
2	Creating continuous numbering	Spreadsheet record keepers	Manual numbering is slow and easy to get wrong	Use Series Fill to increase or decrease numbers automatically
3	Extending date sequences	Scheduling and reporting users	Entering dates one by one takes time	Set a starting pattern and use Series Fill to continue it
4	Organizing horizontal or vertical data quickly	Light spreadsheet users	The same content must appear across rows or columns	Drag in four directions to fill adjacent cells efficiently
5	Adjusting the fill result during editing	Users who review as they go	The first fill result should be copied instead of extended, or the reverse	Switch the fill mode from the top of the fill interface before finishing
