# Filling Cells

Up/Down Fill | Right/Left Fill | Fill Cells

Using the fill commands, you can duplicate data across a range of cells. Fill can copy one cell or a range of cells in any direction. For example, if you needed to fill 25 cells with the same value, you could enter the value once in the first cell, select the other 24 cells and then fill those with the first cell.

There are four types of fill: up, down, right, and left.

## Up/Down Fill

Down fill example.

In an up or down fill, values are duplicated down through columns. If more than one column is selected (as shown above), each column is filled separately.

## Right/Left Fill

Right fill example.

In a right or left fill, values are duplicated across rows. If more than one row is selected (as shown above), the each row is filled separately.

| NOTE: All fills overwrite existing data in selected cells.
