To repeat a specific action or formula multiple times in Google Sheets, you can use the fill handle feature. This allows you to easily copy and paste the action or formula across multiple cells. Simply click and drag the fill handle in the bottom right corner of the selected cell to the desired range. You can also use the “Fill Down” or “Fill Right” option under the Edit menu to quickly repeat the action or formula in a column or row. Additionally, you can use the CONCATENATE function to create a formula that repeats a specific action or formula based on a set of criteria. This allows for more customization and control over the repetition process.
