How to stop auto-increment in Excel

Post by Admin »

In Excel if you have a cell that contains a number, and you drag it down, the number increases by one in every next cell. This is normal. Here cell B3 contains me1. When you drag it down the columns, the number increases by one.

But if you have a situation where you want your number to remain same throughout the cells while you are dragging it down, how to get it?

The easiest and best way is to hold down the Ctrl key while you are dragging cell B3 (which contains me1 in the example) down your column. Nothing more :-)

Have fun :-)
