To select more than one adjoining cell , left-click one of the cells, drag the cursor until all of the cells are selected, and release the mouse button.
The copied cell will stay selected until you perform your next task, or you can double-click the cell to deselect it.
The keyboard shortcut for Paste is the Control Key and the V key.
The fill handle doesn't always copy information from one cell directly into another cell. Depending on the data entered in the cell, it may fill the data in other ways. For example, if you have the formula =A1+B1 in cell C1 and use the fill handle to fill the formula into cell C2, the formula doesn't appear the same in C2 as it does in C1. Instead of =A1+B1, you will see =A2+B2.
You can use the fill handle to fill cells horizontally or vertically.
