Big Problem with the drag copy feature

K

One of the greatest features in excel in the copy drag feature where you
click on the bottom right of the cell and you get that symbol-- can't
describe what it looks like well, but it duplicate the cells below.

Well, now I need that feature badly, and it does not work consistently all
of the sudden. These are large cells with lot of text. Is that the problem.
It's just working real inconsistent.

Hi Kevs,

Does "lots of text" mean cells with more than 250 or so characters? The
fill command may be limited in that respect.

Thanks Jim!
Some may be approaching that actually. Keywords. I find if I really drag
hard on the mouse it helps. Otherwise it's just copy and paste right?
