Default what is "fill handle". i don't see any fill handle in my excel

If you mean a series of numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4 etc then put 1 in the first
cell, 2 in the second and highlight both and drag down or along as the case
may be on the fill handle of the 2nd cell.

If you mean copy the formula in the first cell to a range then with a
formula - say =A1+B1 then simply drag down on the fill hande. The formula
will index uplike:

=A1+B1
=A2+B2
=A3+B3

If you want one of the cells to remain constant - say in this example the
cell A1 then make it an absolute reference like:

=$A$1+B1
=$A$1+B2
=$A$1+B13

If this is not what you want then post back with more details for what you
are trying to do.
