Select the cell from which you want to copy, then Edit/Copy (or Ctrl+C),
then select the first cell in the range to which you want to copy, then
Shift+select the last cell in the range, then Edit/Paste (or Ctrl+V).
 
Hi sorabh,
Try this. Copy (Ctrl+C) the formula in the top cell.
Move to the bottom cell and hit Shift+click, thus
selecting all cells in the column range. Then paste
(Ctrl+V).

Hope this speeds things up a bit.

Much quicker to do than to describe :-))

Let us say you have data in A1:A5000. You put a formula in B1 and wish to drag
it down to B5000.

1. Put the formula in B1.
2. Select A1.
3. <ctrl><down> takes you to A5000.
3. <right-arrow> to B5000.
4. <ctrl><shift><up> takes you to B1 and selects the range B1:B5000.
5. Edit/Fill/Down (or <ctrl><D>) will copy the formula in B1 down to B5000,
adjusting the cell references appropriately.
