FAQ

How do I stop Fill from increasing serial numbers automatically?

  1. Complete the drag-to-fill action.
  2. Click the quick menu button at the lower-right corner of the filled range.
  3. Select Copy Cells to keep the original content instead of continuing the sequence.

What should I do if formulas return the wrong result after filling?

  1. Check whether the formula references should stay fixed.
  2. If needed, add $ to create absolute references for rows or columns.
  3. Run the fill action again and confirm the result.

Will Fill overwrite existing data?

  1. Yes. Fill writes into the target range and replaces existing content there.
  2. Check whether the target range is empty, or back up the data first.
  3. If data was replaced by mistake, use Undo immediately.
