Can I use autofill to the left and upwards too?

The Excel fill handle can be dragged up and left too!

Most people are aware that the Excel Fill Handle (the black square in the bottom right hand corner of a selected cell) can be dragged to the right and down to extend a formula. What most people aren't aware of is that you can also drag the Fill Handle to the left and up (just be careful to drag far enough, otherwise you'll just delete the contents of the cell).
