Excel 2013 provides the facility to fill a data series


automatically usingthe Auto Fill feature. It also has the What's in Store? E
Flash Fill feature that recognizes the pattern of data, Auto Fill
and fills the remaining list
accordingly Creating Custom Lists
Once you have entered data in a worksheet, you can Flash Fill
changeits order of appearance. This is called sorting of Sorting Data
data. You can also filter data, which selectively blocks Filtering Data
data you don't want to see. Sorting and filtering are very
useful when you work with long data lists. Excel 2013 Conditional Formatting
also has feature called conditional
a
formnatting, which
setsa cell's format according to a condition that you specify.
Let us learn about these advanced features of Excel
2013 in this cbapter.
AUTO FILL
The Auto Fill feature of Excel
allows youto fill a range of cells with a series of data without
actually typing it. Excel has two predefined Auto Fill seriesmonths of
the year and days or tn

19
wCek To use Auto Fill for a series like this, you can follow these steps

.Select the cell, say Al, which has the data-the first day of the week. Now, you want to fill
the rest of the days of the week in the worksheet.

2. Move the cursor to the snall green square at the lower-right


Fill handle
ner of the cell. This square is the fill handle (Fig. 2.1).
Sunday
3. When you point to the fill handle, the cursor changes to a plus Fig. 2.1 First item
of Auto Fill series
sign. Drag it to enclose the area you want to fill (Fig. 2.2).

4. Release the mouse button. The cells enclosed in the selection will be filled with entries from
the predefined series (Fig. 2.3).

S. You also have the Auto Fill Options button in Excel that appears next to the data you add to
a worksheet by using the fill handle. Clicking the Auto Fill Options button displays a list of
actions (Fig. 2.4).

Fill Days or Fill These options change the series to days in the week (Monday-Sunday) or weekdays
Weekdays (Monday-Friday)
Flash Fill This fills the cells by using the Flash Fill. It fills the values by identitying a pattern in the
worksheet data.

.
You can aliso fill a cell range with a series of numbers. The steps for this are:
. Type the first two values of the series in two adjacent cells
2. Select the two cels. Click the fll handle in the lower-right corner of the
3
selected cells (Fig. 2.5).
3. Drag it to enclose the area you want to fill (Fig. 2.6). Fig. 2.5 Select
the first two values
4. Release the mouse button (Fig. 2.). Auto Fill uses the difference for Auto Fill
berween the first two numbers and keeps adding it to the last number.
So the range gets filled automatically

CREATING CUSTOM LISTS


You have seen that Auto Fill can fill in names of days of the week and months in a year. This is
because these lists are already stored in Custom Lists. Excel 2013 allows you

FILTERING DATA
Ihe Filter feature selectively blocks or hides data you do not want to see. A filtered range

displays only the rows/columns that meet the conditions or criteria you specify. Filtering is
a quick and easy way to find and work with selected data. Unlike sorting, filtering does not

26
rearrange data. It temporarily hides the rows/columns you do not want. You can edit, format, or
print the chosen range.

Excel provides two commands for filtering the data range: Filter (for simple criteria) and
Advanced Filter (tor complex criteria). In this chapter we will discuss the Filter leature, 1et
take an example to understand how to use this feature.

I. Consider the same data as shown in Figure 2.20. Select a cell in the range Al:DII, say B2.
