I reviewed MarsEdit in January, so I wanted to kick the tires on an entirely different kind of client. MacJournal stores its entries in what seems to be RTF, so you have access to the full OS X rich-text editing suite and you can do other interesting things, like insert text links that show up as underlined and clickable. Then, you export it to HTML (or RTF or plain text, if you must be so déclassé) and put it on your Web page, if you’re still into that mode. One of the perks, though, is that MacJournal also supports posting to LiveJournal and Blogger-and therefore Movable Type, in theory, though I couldn’t make it work in practice.įor this purpose, I went through a great deal of effort, importing all my old Bloggable: The Companion Weblog entries. It could have been smoother, but MacJournal doesn’t automatically recognize and import Movable Type’s export format I had to go through and tweak each entry into a format the import window’s “Try to discover entries in file” option wouldn’t gag on. There are two ways to fill a growth series, by entering the first two numbers and by entering the first number and the step value.(Hint, hint, Mariner Software.) As you can imagine, it was great fun with 13 entries, so I did not attempt it on my 176-entry primary blog. In a growth series, or geometric pattern, the next number is calculated by multiplying the previous number by the step value. Up until now, we’ve been discussing filling linear series, where each number in the series is calculated by adding the step value to the previous number. For example, in the image below, there’s a value in cell G7 so when you double click on the fill handle on cell G2, the formula is only copied down through cell G6. Also, by default, if some of the cells in the range of cells you’re filling already have data, only the empty cells above the first cell containing data are filled. If the columns directly on either side of the selected column are blank, you cannot use the double click method to fill the cells in the column. An adjacent column in this context is any column that Excel encounters to the right or left of the column being filled, until a blank column is reached. When using this method, Excel only fills the cells in the column based on the longest adjacent column of data on your worksheet. You can quickly fill a linear series of data into a column by double clicking the fill handle. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+D and Ctrl+R, as discussed earlier, to copy formulas to adjacent cells.įill a Linear Series by Double Clicking on the Fill Handle NOTE: The copied formulas will not recalculate, unless you have automatic workbook calculation enabled. RELATED: How to Manually Calculate Only the Active Worksheet in Excel Then, click “Fill” in the Editing section of the Home tab and select Down, Right, Up, or Left, depending on which direction you want to fill the cells. Simply select the cell containing the formula and the cells you want to fill with that formula. You can also fill formulas using the Fill command on the ribbon. RELATED: Why Do You Need Formulas and Functions? If you used relative cell references, they will change accordingly to refer to the cells in their respective rows (or columns). The formula is copied to the other cells. Simply select the cell containing the formula you want to fill into adjacent cells and drag the fill handle down the cells in the column or across the cells in the row that you want to fill. You can also use the fill handle to propagate formulas to adjacent cells. Notice the green square in the lower-right corner of the selected cell? That’s the fill handle. To do this, type a 1 in the first cell in the column and then select that cell. We’ll save ourselves some time (and boredom) by using the fill handle to populate the column with the linear series of numbers. Very tedious and time consuming, especially for large amounts of data. You can type the first number, press Enter to get to the next row in that column, and enter the next number, and so on. Let’s say we want to create a column of sequential numbers, increasing by one in each cell. In each linear series, you add (or subtract) the same step value. However, a linear series can also be a series of decimal numbers (1.5, 2.5, 3.5…), decreasing numbers by two (100, 98, 96…), or even negative numbers (-1, -2, -3). The simplest example of a linear series is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. A linear series consists of numbers where the next number is obtained by adding a “step value” to the number before it. One way to use the fill handle is to enter a series of linear data into a row or column of adjacent cells.
