Here are two time-savers you can use to enter data in Excel:
AutoFill Enter the months of the year, the days of the week, multiples of 2 or 3, or other data in a series. You type one or more entries, and then extend the series.
Click Play to see how.
AutoComplete If the first few letters you type in a cell match an entry you've already made in that column, Excel will fill in the remaining characters for you. Just press ENTER when you see them added. This works for text or for text with numbers. It does not work for numbers only, for dates, or for times.
You can try out these two ways to enter data in the practice. That's next.
