RE: cell copying

Dear Dave

Thank you for attending Excel 2007 Advanced course. I hope you enjoyed the course.

I can't think of any way of double clicking and letting Excel ignore the blank cells. But I have one possible solution which is less tedious than dragging the fill Handle al the way down.

Lets assume that you have a formula in cell E3 and you want to copy it all the way to E20000 very quickly please follow these steps:

Click on cell E3
CRL + C (For copying)
Type any text in cell E20001 ( you can use the name box to quickly get to cell E20001.
Use the name box to come back to Cell E4
Use CTRL+SHIFT+Down Arrow key on the keyboard
CTRL +V (To Paste)

I hope this helps. Please mark the post as resolved if it has answered your query!!

Kindest Regards
