I've been away from spreadsheets for ages. I'm supposed to find the autofill button on excel (M365). All I've been asking is where is that stupid button. Could someone please just tell me where to find it?

    First, select File > Options > Advanced.

    Make sure that the check box 'Enable fill handle and cell drag-and-drop' in the Editing options section is selected.

    Enter something in one or two cells, then use the fill handle in the lower right corner of the selection to drag down or to the right.

    When you release the mouse button, the AutoFill Options button should appear.

    I've done that several times. I simply cannot find the button. Is it on the toolbar, or am i supposed to be doing something else? This is for a college class assignment, (returning student), and I'm trying to figure this out.

    Scratch that. I found it. Thanks, Boss. I should have read it a bit more closely. Huge props.
