Excel: Copy Formula

One of the most powerful features of Excel is the formula and the ability to copy the formula easily across rows. But in a scenario where rows are filtered in other columns, the shortcut will not work -- this applies to both Excel desktop and Excel online

Rows filter >> double click bottom left of formula cell

  • will copy the value to all the rows below if all rows below are blank
  • will stop copying when it reaches a row (filtered or unfiltered) that is not blank


Rows filter >> manual copy and paste the formula

  • works, the filtered rows will be ignored, and the value will not be overwritten from the paste
