Hi fellow Excel Addict,
Sorry
this (Tuesday's) 'Excel in Seconds' newsletter is a little
late. I had
to go out of town to work on a project for a couple of
days, so
I'm a little behind schedule.I will try to get my (Thursday's) 'Excel in Minutes' newsletter ready for tomorrow.
In today's 'Excel in Seconds' tip, I show you how to 'Prevent Auto Incrementing of Numbers'.
If you missed last Thursday's 'Excel in Minutes' tip, 'Open the Last-Saved Version of an Open Workbook', you can read it here now.
Please feel free to share my newsletter with your friends — they will thank you for it.
Hope you have a great week and keep on Excelling,
Francis Hayes (The Excel Addict)

Prevent Auto Incrementing of Numbers
Chances are that this has happened to you. You are copying information, such as a street address or a company name that includes a number, by dragging the Fill Handle, only to have Excel's AutoFill feature kick in and increment the number in each cell when all you wanted to do was copy it.
Yes, I know you can simply Copy and Paste or select the entire range first and press CTRL+D to copy the first cell, but I think you will find CTRL while dragging the Fill Handle to be quicker.
In newer versions of Excel there is a Paste Options button that appears after you have filled or pasted content. Click it and choose Copy Cells to undo the auto incremented numbers.
Another option is to drag the Fill Handle with your right mouse button and select Copy Cells from the menu that pops up when you release the mouse button.
