Use
AutoFill to create a Series
With Excel's AutoFill
feature
, you can automatically enter a series of numbers, dates or formulas
into a range
(contiguous
group of cells). The
program determines the series based on the contents of the first
cell or cells in the range.
For example, the single entry "January" would generate
the series "January, February, March, April, May," etc.,
while the entries "10" and "20" would generate
the series "10, 20, 30, 40, 50," etc.
A formula is simply copied into adjacent cells, with column/row
coordinates adjusted to reflect the columns/rows in which the new
formulas appear.
To use
AutoFill:
Click cell B5, and then type
Monday. Rest the pointer
on the lower-right corner of the cell until it becomes the
AutoFill handle, and then drag the handle downward to cell B11.
The AutoFill feature fills in the rest of the days of the week.

Access |
Sort Records in a table
Access normally displays records in primary key order.
In the Staff Details table, for example, records are listed
in ascending order by staff number.
There may be times,
however, when you will want the information in a table organized
in a different way (by last name or by department, for example,
referring to the Staff Details table).
This can be easily accomplished by sorting the records.
To sort
the records in a table:
Click
in the sort field
of any record. (This is the field by which all records are to be ordered.)
To
sort records in ascending
order, choose the Records,
Sort, Sort Ascending command
(or the Sort Ascending
option on the shortcut menu), or click on the Sort Ascending button on the toolbar; or
To
sort records in descending order, choose the Records,
Sort, Sort Descending command
(or the Sort Descending
option on the shortcut menu), or click on the Sort Descending button on the toolbar.
