Is there a shortcut key to copy down a column or accross a row to autofill a
series of numbers or data (such as Jan, Feb, Mar, etc)?
For example, if I want a series of numbers from 1 throuh 100, I can enter 1
in the first cell, 2 in the second cell to define the series then select
both cells and drag the fill handle down with the mouse until I reach 100.
Can I do this without using the mouse to drag the fill handle?
I know I can highlight the entire block and press CTRL-D to copy down the
data in the first cell (and overwriting the data in the second cell) but I'd
like to know if I can have it fill it with the series of numbers defined by
the initial cells in the block. I have to do this a lot and hate using the
mouse. I'd rather use the shift key to define the block and use some
shortcut key similar to the CTRL-D combination but one that allows it to
calculate a series instead of just copying the first cell.
