    auto fill in a formula series

    sample fuel.xlsx
    i would like to have an excel file that calculates my car's <litres/100km> and <average litre per 100km>. i have been keying in the formula manually.
    1. are the formulas correct
    2. is there a way to fill in the formula automatically using fill series or something like that?
    3. i dont have the data for <litres filled> in E2 which screws up my numbers. what can i do to overcome that?
    thanks

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Try these, copied down....
    D3=IF(C3="","",C3-C2)
    F3=IF(D3="","",E3*100/D3)
    G3=IF(C3="","",SUM($E$2:E3)/SUM($D$2:D3)*100)

    The answer you have in D2 does not make sense, but you can leave it as is
    the F3 and G3 you can copy up

    Re: auto fill in a formula series

    sorry i didnt explain at the start... when i got the car it had already had some kms done on the odometer. thats why D2 is strange. also i didnt record "litres filled" for the 1st time which was a mistake on my part. here is an updated file with what i estimate those cells should be.
    sample fuel2.xlsx
    please note columns A,B,C,D and E are data, not calculations. each time i fill at the pump, i key in the "date", "odometer" reading, the trip meter which tells me the "km travelled" since the last fill, and the "litres filled" into the tank. from that data, i want to calculate column F and G
