Sometimes, we need to enter some sequence values in order in Excel cells. We can drag the fill handle to fill the cells with the default values in Excel, such as Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat. But if you need to use other sequence values again and again, you can create your custom lists and fill them into cells vertically or horizontally with Kutools for Excel's Fill Custom Lists.
Create custom lists and fill them into cells
1. Select the range that you would like to fill with your custom lists. And then click Kutools > Insert > Fill Custom Lists, see screenshot:
