How can you use the Fill Handle in Excel?

Using the Fill Handle in Excel involves clicking and dragging the small square located at the bottom-right corner of a selected cell. This action allows you to quickly fill adjacent cells with a series of data, such as numbers, dates, or text. The Fill Handle is particularly useful for extending a pattern or sequence. For example, if you have the number "1" in one cell and you drag the Fill Handle downwards, Excel will automatically fill the adjacent cells with "2," "3," "4," etc., based on the sequence you started.

This functionality is essential for efficiently populating a large range of cells without manually entering each value. It supports both linear series and repeating values, making it a powerful tool for data entry and organization in spreadsheets. Other options, while related to filling data, do not utilize the Fill Handle directly in the method described.
