1. What feature in Excel will automatically continue a series based on a pattern established once you enter the numbers? (1 point)

The AutoFill feature in Excel will automatically continue a series based on a pattern established once you enter the numbers.

The feature in Excel that automatically continues a series based on a pattern is called "AutoFill."

To use AutoFill, follow these steps:

1. Enter the initial values of the series in consecutive cells.
2. Select the cell or range of cells containing the values.
3. Move your mouse cursor to the bottom right corner of the selected cell(s) until it changes to a thin crosshair cursor.
4. Click and hold the left mouse button, then drag the cursor down or across to continue the series based on the pattern you want.

Excel will automatically recognize the pattern and fill in the rest of the series accordingly. For example, if you enter the numbers 1 and 2 in two consecutive cells and use AutoFill, Excel will continue the series by filling in the cells with 3, 4, 5, and so on.
