    Question How to automate select range and drag down to auto fill ?

    Hello, Forum

    I recently found out about VBA and it is already saving me tons of time.
    I need help solving one problem which I think should be easy for some people.

    The case is that I have over 50 similar tables with similar data. All of the tables are connected with a separate excel file which is in the "Information" worksheet tab.
    The main table is made in a way that I only need to select a certain range > click the bottom right corner and drag it down. In this case it will autofill all the data and copy data from "Information" worksheet. Since there 50+ tables (and there is going to be more soon) it takes a lot of time to perform this simple task.

    I was wondering if it is possible to implement a VBA/macro which will automatically select and auto fill the desired range?

    I have attached a sample file. In the excel file I have colored the range which needs to be selected and then click drag down to auto fill. The range of selected rows will wary between 6,21,41,81.

    Thanks.
