How to stop autocalc from adding a digit to each column cell

Post by Chimerakc »

So I want to be able to enter a number and click on the lower right corner and drag down through more columns and repeat THE SAME number in every cell. I guess the default program adds one to the previous entry as you scroll down. I have tried unclicking all 3 commands in the tools - cell format - menu. Thanks

If you hold down the CTRL key while dragging, the same number will be placed in each cell.
