Subject: [VICUG-L] Auto Fill in Excel 2013

Hi All,

How do you quickly put the same value in all of the cells of a column or row
in Excel?

I'm submitting grades for my classes. On one of my campuses, I also need to
submit a spreadsheet that shows attendance: p for present, a for absent, x
for holidays. Rather than manually typing all of this for every student as I
do every semester, I'd like to use the auto fill feature.

I've found two sets of instructions for doing this. One says I can use 
ctrl+d or ctrl+r to duplicate information from the adjacent cell above
or to the left. The other says I can highlight the row or column, go into
the Home tab, and select the appropriate option from the edit group; I don't
remember the key sequence off hand.

I've tried both methods, but only one additional cell gets filled, not the
entire row or column.

Any suggestions? I'm using Windows 8.1 and Office 2013.

Ciao
