The fill handle is the quickest way of copying formulas to other cells, when the cells are all together. Other copy and paste options can be quick too, if you know how to use them properly. You can do things like copy and paste to a large range or separate ranges. You select a range before entering a formula and press Ctrl-Enter to quickly enter the formula in all of the selected cells.
After copying, put the cursor on the cell you want to paste to. There are then lots of ways of pasting:
You can use any of these key combinations:
Ctrl-V
Shift-Insert
Alt-E-P
Alternatively you can do any of these:
Click on the Paste icon
Go to the edit menu and select Paste
Open the shortcut menu, by pressing the key or right clicking on the mouse and select paste.

Copy from the cell that has the formula you want, then use the Paste Formula option for the cells where you want to copy the formula. The Paste Formula option allows you to retain the original formatting in the target cells.
When you copy a cell, you copy the contents of the cell. Excel allows you to paste those contents in a variety of ways. For example, you can paste either the cell contents (like a formula =A1+B3) or the cell value (like 143).
# Copy the contents (right click, copy or CTRL+C) # Switch to the target sheet and activate the cell where you want to paste. # Paste the contents (right click paste or CTRL+V) Note: If the content was a formula, you will by default paste a cell reference. If you want the actual value, you can Edit, Paste Special, Value. If the target or originating cell are merged with another or other cells, you will have to double click on the original and taget and paste the content inside the cell.
First you do a copy command. Then, instead of using Paste, you pick the Paste Special option and then its Value option. You can paste to another cell or to the cell it is in. The Paste Special option can be got through the Edit menu, or on the menu that appears if you right click on the mouse after doing your Copy.
Either drag the formula cell down the column, or copy (right-click) the cell then paste (right-click) in other cells.
Copy and paste or Fill.
Normally when you copy and paste, the formula is pasted. If you do a Paste Value, it pastes the result of the copied formula rather than the formula itself.
However, Excel also has other, less well known paste options that makes it easier to maintain and update your spreadsheet once it has been created.One such feature is Paste Link, which creates a link between the data or formula in the original cell and the destination cell where it is pasted
