    How to autofill the cell using certain formula without drag the mouse?

    I want to get the result when I enter a num, for example the formula is multiply 2 and plus 1.
    So when I type in '10' in a cell and press enter I will get the result '21'(10 * 2 + 1) immediately. I know there is a way using mouse drag to get this done, but I prefer to use command or sth else instead of mouse?

    Is there a alternative ?

    By the way my excel version is 2016.

    I don't exactly know what you mean, I understand that you want to drag a formula to neighbour cells using something different than mouse. I personaly use this method:
    1. I am writing a formula in, for example A1.
    2. Next I am using combination of Shift+arrows to select a range I am interested in (for example A1:A5).
    3. I use Ctrl + D to fill up empty cells in range with formula in A1 cell (or Ctrl + R if I want to fill horizontal range like A1:C1).

    Hope that is what you looking for
