How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Yes, press Control End while in the worksheet, you should be taken to what Excel considers to be the "last used" cell of that. Chances are that it's very far away from the "real" last used cell. So, you should delete (Not clear contents) all the unused rows and columns, and then, save again.
