What\u2019s this Fill Handle in Excel?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fill Handle is a tool in Excel that automatically fills the rows and columns based on the pattern of values in the chosen cells and generates a list of series.<\/p>\n<p>The fill handle is a tiny, plus-shaped icon that is always present in the bottom right corner of every cell. Users simply need to click on it, move it with their mouse, or double-press it, and it will automatically fill the chosen cells with the values they have entered, creating a series.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a value in the cell(s) in the starting cells from which you want to make a list, you can use Fill Handle to automatically fill the other cells.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bizinfograph.com\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Fill-Handle-1.png\" alt=\"Fill Handle\" width=\"256\" height=\"146\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"how-to-use-fill-handle-in-excel\">2. How to Use Fill Handle in Excel?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s clarify where the fill handle is located in Excel.<\/p>\n<p>Assume you possess the information depicted below:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bizinfograph.com\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Fill-Handle-2.png\" alt=\"Fill Handle\" width=\"162\" height=\"126\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>How to use the fill handle to quickly insert numbers? (In this example, I want to add 10 numbers serially):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Choosing the data collection.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bizinfograph.com\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Fill-Handle-3.png\" alt=\"Fill Handle\" width=\"236\" height=\"103\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> When you move the mouse over the selection&#8217;s bottom-right corner, the plus symbol will appear as shown below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bizinfograph.com\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Fill-Handle-4.png\" alt=\"Fill Handle\" width=\"235\" height=\"124\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Drag the cursor down by clicking the left button.

Examples of Using Fill Handle in Excel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The aforementioned examples demonstrated how to finish the list of numbers using Excel&#8217;s fill handle (that increment by 1).<\/p>\n<p>A fill handle can instantly identify the pattern and fill the cells in a wide variety of additional circumstances. They are covered in the following part.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Autofill Numbers that Increment\/Decrement by 1<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cells can be rapidly filled when the number increases by 1 as demonstrated above.<\/p>\n<p>When the number decreases by 1, you can also rapidly fill cells.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5396\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bizinfograph.com\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Fill-Handle-6.png\" alt=\"Fill Handle\" width=\"290\" height=\"267\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the fill handle functions both ways. Either you can fill it up by pulling it upwards or you can fill it down by dragging it down.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Autofill Weekday Names<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To autocomplete workday names in Excel, use the fill handle function. It could either be the complete name (Monday, Tuesday) or the nomenclature using the three alphabets (Mon, Tue&#8230;).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5397\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5397\" style=\"width: 643px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5397 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bizinfograph.com\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Fill-Handle-7.png\" alt=\"Fill Handle\" width=\"643\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bizinfograph.com\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Fill-Handle-7.png 643w, https:\/\/www.bizinfograph.com\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Fill-Handle-7-300x103.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5397\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fill Handle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Keep in mind that it first starts over with the same name at the beginning after filling the cells with the names of seven dates.
