My guess is that your cells are starting out formatted as Text. What I finally did was copy the cell, when I went to paste in an empty cell, I had to use Paste Special (Ctrl+Alt+V) and choose Add from the dialog to get it to paste as a true date. I had a heckuva time converting that cell to a real date or even copying that date to another cell, using Paste Special, to get the true date. You cannot fix your issue simply by reformatting them to Date. Therefore, if you had empty cells that were FORMATTED as TEXT.

THEN formatted that cell as Date and still not fixed. I had to remove the apostrophe for it to work.įurther attempts to reproduce your issue. Not only that, but when I formatted the cell to date, it did not fix the issue. I reproduced your problem by entering '5/1/18 in a cell. First double-checking that isn't your issue.Īpostrophes can only be seen in the edit bar, not in the cell unless you double-click it. If filters are turned on, they may cause the same number to repeat, even when selecting more than one asked below about apostrophes. If you're still having problems, make sure that your filters are clear.

AutoFill will override its normal determination (copy the selected value downward) by forcing a series of numbers into the filled cells. If, for some reason, you don't want to start with a selection of two cells, you could simply select one cell (A2) and hold down the Ctrl key as you drag the fill handle downward.

Why? Because it can analyze the information you started to enter in the cells and use it to determine how to fill the remaining cells with a series of values. On the other hand, if you select cells A1:A2 and then drag down, AutoFill will increment the value placed into each of the cells. Why? Because you only started by selecting a single cell. If you select cell A2 and use the AutoFill handle to drag downward, what happens is that Excel fills each of the cells with the value 2. For example, enter the value 1 into cell A1 and the value 2 into cell A2.

Deb is wondering how she can fix this.īased upon the described behavior, it sounds like Deb is trying to use AutoFill to create a series (1, 2, 3, etc.) when she isn't giving AutoFill enough information to determine that is what she wants to do. However, when she uses the AutoFill handle, it just pastes the same number in every cell.

The "Enable Fill Handle" box is checked in Excel options. If not, then you can give the DNS entries a try.Deb is trying to AutoFill record numbers in a column of her worksheet record 1 in the first cell, record 2 in the second cell, etc.

Of course, you can always try downloading the AutoUpdate 3.4 update manually first to see if that will work. This solution might not be for everyone, but it’s worth a shot if you’re having a similar problem.

That’s it! You should now be back in business and be able to download and install the updates. Launch any of the Office apps, then click Help > Check for Updates, then click Install. Now enter the following addresses: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, then click OK. Next, click the DNS tab and then the Add (+) button at the bottom. Launch System Preferences and go to Network > Advanced. The not-so-obvious solution I have found for this is to use Google’s public DNS address. Either it’s a compatibility issue with OS XYosemite’s version, or Microsoft is not aware of the problem yet. It turns out the culprit was the DNS server Microsoft uses to connect to the public Internet. I even tried to download the update manually, but Microsoft’s Support page behaved unresponsive, even in alternative web browsers. Unfortunately, checking for Updates from the Help menu was not working. To download the latest updates for Office 2016, I needed to have AutoUpdate version 3.4 installed.
