Solution

When you right-click and drag the fill handle in the lower right corner of a cell in Excel, a context menu appears when you release the right mouse button. This context menu provides several options for how Excel should fill the selected cells. These options include:

  1. Copy Cells: This option will simply duplicate the content of the original cell(s) in the selected cells.

  2. Fill Series: This option will fill the selected cells with a series that follows from the original cell(s). For example, if the original cell contained the number 1, the filled cells could contain the numbers 2, 3, 4, etc.

  3. Fill Formatting Only: This option will apply the formatting of the original cell(s) to the selected cells, but it will not copy the actual content of the original cell(s).

  4. Fill Without Formatting: This option will copy the content of the original cell(s) to the selected cells, but it will not apply the formatting of the original cell(s).

  5. Fill Days, Fill Weekdays, Fill Months, Fill Years: These options will fill the selected cells with a series of days, weekdays, months, or years that follows from the date in the original cell.

  6. Series: This option opens the Series dialog box, which provides more detailed options for filling the selected cells with a series.
