Hi all,

Could anyone please remind me of how I can select my current line / fill to the right only to the end of the line above?

I.e. I have figures in the line above the blank line I'm currently in and I'd like to copy a formula all the way across to the right. But not as far as the whole excel sheet, just as far as there are figures in the line above.

I know this is possible but I've just forgotten how to.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks,
RTan101
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
While in the one cell you wish to manipulate: hold SHFT and stay holding, then press UpArrow once + Enter + End + RightArrow once + Enter + DownArrow once, let go of SHFT. The current cells in the row of interest should be selected as far right as there are columns filled in the above row.

Many thanks DRSteele for your solution. It certainly works, however, I am convinced that there is a quicker shortcut to achieving the same end goal.

Not worry, I'll use your method until it comes back to me.
