There are some autofill features in Microsoft Excel, which automatically populate cells based on copying data.
If you want to duplicate data down the cells in a column, select the group of cells in the column, including the entry to be copied, and press Control + D.
To duplicate data in cells along a row, select the cells in the row, including the entry to be copied, and press Control + R.
For example, let’s say the number 10 is in cell A1, select the range A1 to A5 and press Control + D, and you will now have the number 10 in the first 5 cells of column A.
These two shortcuts are particularly good for copying a formula across a range of cells.
