Can you autofill (little black square, bottom right hand corner of cell) using a keyboard instead of using a mouse, the reason i ask is that a disabled person is having problems using her mouse to autofill so i was wondering whether there is a keyboard alternative.

Many thanks

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Imran,

I'm not sure about autofil to expand date ranges etc....

But Shift + Cursors to highlight a range and then using Ctrl + D or Ctrl + R will Fill Down or fill right with the contents of the original cell.

Hope this helps.
