expression, value, or text.

u To fill a range of cells with the same content

Example To use the “FILL” command to fill cells A2 through B3 with the formula

= A1+1

The A1 cell name of the formula is a relative reference. This means the

formula is = A1+1 in cell A2, = A2+1 in cell A3, etc.

In this example, it is assumed that 1 is already input into cell A1, and 2 is

input into cell B1.

1. Select the range of cells from A2 through B3.

•See “To select a range of cells” (page 9-3-4) for more information.

2. Press 2 (EDIT)6(g)1(FILL).

•This displays the Fill dialog box.

This is the range of cells you selected in step 1.

3. While the “Formula” line is highlighted, enter the content you want to be filled into each

of the cells in the selected range.

•Here we will enter “=A1+1”.
