When you use the autofill handle to apply the formula to the entire column, it’s equivalent to copy-pasting the formula manually. If, for example, there is a blank cell in column B (say cell B6), then this auto-fill double click would only apply the formula till cell C5 In our example, the formula would be applied till cell C15įor this to work, there shouldn’t be data in the adjacent column and there should not be any blank cells in it. The above steps would automatically fill the entire column till the cell where you have the data in the adjacent column.
