    Fill handle has disappeared

    This is an odd one. I fired up Excel yesterday, went to drag a cell to copy some figures only to find the fill handle was missing from the bottom right corner of the cell.

    Have I somehow switched off this function?

    I've tried closing the application and re-opening, switching the machine off and on again both to no avail. Any ideas??

    Tools > Options > Edit > Allow cell drag and drop

    Allow cell drag and drop Select the Allow cell drag and drop check box to move and copy cells and data by dragging. With this option selected, you can also drag the fill handle to copy data and to fill adjacent cells with a series of data.

    Question Re: Fill handle has disappeared

    Do you know how to turn it back on for Excel 2010? I'm having the same issue, but do not have the same tools location as Excel 2003, and I have not found everything yet. I've searched YouTube and Google and am coming up empty handed...
