Repeating cells

With a 1 in A1, a 2 in B1, and a 3 in C1, if I click on C1 and drag the
handle the D1, Excel increments the value to 4. Is there a way other
than Control C to cause D1 to be 3 (the same as C1) instead of 4 (C1+1)?

If you only select c1 and drag the handle to d1 it will repeat "3".

If you select A1 to C1 and drag across, then Excel recognises this as a
sequence. So, with 1, 2 and 3, Excel will give 4, 5, 6, etc. If you just
select cell C1 and drag across, it is not part of a sequence and will just
repeat.

If you rightclick and drag (that autofill button), then when you let go, you'll
see a popup asking what you want to do.

Same question, but with dates. 4/01/02 in A1, 4/02/04 in B1, 4/03/04 in
C1. If I drag C1 to D1, it always increments to 4/04/04.

Thanks for the assistance.
