Copying (Filling) the Same Data to Other Cells
Another way to enter labels or values onto a sheet is to use the Fill feature. You can copy (fill) an entry into surrounding cells. For example, suppose you have a list of students on a worksheet, and they will each get 1 mark in an assignment . You can enter the once and then use the Fill feature to insert multiple copies of into nearby cells. To use the Fill feature for copying, follow these steps:
1. Click the fill handle of the cell (the small block in the lower-right corner of the cell) that holds the data that you want to copy

2. Drag the fill handle down or to the right to copy the data to adjacent cells. A data tag appears to let you know exactly what data is being copied into the cells.
3. Drag the fill handle to copy the contents of a cell into neighboring cells.
Release the mouse button. The data is "filled" into the selected cells.
