Excel - AutoFill Tutorial
In this video, you will learn about Autofill and Flash Fill in Excel.
The video covers how to use Autofill to automatically fill in a series of repetitive information, such as dates, by dragging the black plus sign.
It also demonstrates how to use Flash Fill to quickly format a list of names by typing the first name and letting Excel provide a preview of the formatted names.
These features are tremendous timesavers and can do much more than what is covered in this introduction.
Mastering Autofill and Flash Fill will help you save time and improve your productivity in Excel.

Objectifs :
This video aims to teach users how to effectively use the Auto Fill feature in Excel to fill data in various directions and create series based on patterns, including time and calendar data.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Auto Fill
In this video, we explore the Auto Fill feature in Excel, which allows users to automatically fill a series of data in adjacent cells. While many are familiar with filling down a column, Auto Fill can also be utilized to fill data upwards, to the right, and to the left. -
Using the Fill Handle
To activate Auto Fill, move the cursor over the fill handle, which appears as a small square at the bottom-right corner of a selected cell. When the cursor changes to a black plus sign, hold down the right mouse button and drag the fill handle to the desired cells. Upon releasing the mouse button, a list of options will appear. -
Options for Auto Fill
The options presented include: - **Copy Cells**: This option duplicates the content of the selected cell (e.g., A2) into the adjacent cells. - **Fill Series**: This option populates the selected cells with data that follows a specific pattern based on the copied cells. Formulas in the cells will update automatically to reflect the new data. -
Filling Series with Time
Auto Fill can also be used to create time series. For example, you can fill a series that increments by half an hour. By providing Excel with more data, you can influence the results of the fill series. -
Calendar Data Options
When working with calendar data, Auto Fill offers various options: - **Days**: Fill in all seven days of the week or just weekdays. - **Months and Years**: Create series based on months or years. - **Quarters**: Generate series for quarters based on dates or abbreviations. -
Conclusion
The Auto Fill feature in Excel is a powerful tool that enhances productivity by allowing users to quickly fill data in various formats and patterns. Understanding how to utilize this feature effectively can save time and streamline data entry tasks.
FAQ :
What is the purpose of the Fill Handle in Excel?
The Fill Handle is used to quickly fill adjacent cells with data or formulas by dragging it across the desired range.
How does Auto Fill work with dates?
Auto Fill can populate cells with a series of dates, allowing users to fill in days, weeks, months, or even years based on the initial date provided.
Can I create a custom series in Excel?
Yes, you can create a custom series by providing Excel with additional data to establish a pattern, such as filling every half hour or creating a series of specific abbreviations.
What happens to formulas when using Fill Series?
When using Fill Series, Excel automatically updates the formulas to reflect their new positions in the adjacent cells.
Is it possible to fill only weekdays in a series?
Yes, when filling a series of days, you can choose to include only weekdays, excluding weekends.
