SUMMARY
Excel now supports up to 64,000 rows, which presents challenges when dragging formulas across such a large dataset. Users can efficiently apply formulas to multiple rows by copying the formula and pasting it into the selected range, eliminating the need for manual dragging. This method allows for automatic incrementing of ranges without the tedious process of dragging down the fill handle. Understanding this technique enhances productivity when working with extensive data in Excel.
