Drag Selected Cells in Excel with Keyboard

Create Custom Shortcut for Fill Series

To drag cells using a keyboard shortcut, you can create a macro for the Fill Series function. Record a macro performing the Fill Series action and assign your desired keyboard shortcut to this macro. This provides a fast method for autofilling cells without using the mouse.

Move Cells with Keyboard

To move cells efficiently in Excel, use the keyboard combination Ctrl + X to cut, navigate with arrow keys to the target location, then press Ctrl + V to paste. This sequence is the optimal keyboard method for moving cell contents in Excel.
