Fill Handle Menu Replaced by Quick Analysis Menu

[cintirich]

Hello all,

I have searched and searched but I have not found a thread covering this particular problem.

Historically, when I have double-clicked the lower right corner of a cell, it will automatically autofill the cells below and offer a fill handle option menu (Copy Cells, Fill Series, Fill Formatting Only, etc) so that I can change how Excel autofilled the cells, if needed. Recently (last couple of weeks or so), when I use the fill handle, that option menu is gone and has been replaced by the Quick Analysis menu (Formatting, Charts, Totals, Tables, Sparklines) and I can't get the Fill handle menu back, even when I go to the Options menu to disable the Quick Analysis menu.

Please note that I have already gone to File -> Options -> Advanced to ensure that the fill handle options are enabled. Any advice would be tremendously appreciated. Thank you!

I have noticed the same thing and it is an extremely annoying change. I'd be ok if the Quick Analysis Menu contained the items that used to be in the fill handle menu, but most of those seem to have completely disappeared.

If you have added filters then this makes the fill handle cause an issue. So that remove any filters applied in the sheet (not clear filters, remove filtering option) and try to drag & down the cell. This will show the fill handle option again.
