Sorry, I don't understand that. Perhaps you could explain in more detail 
what you are doing.

Although different, this may achieve what you want:

Enter your data in the first cell.
Highlight the cells in the column you want to fill.
Do Edit|Fill|Down.

There are similar options for filling to the right, etc.

Or, you can enter a value into a cell, then click and drag the bottom right 
handle of the cell to fill the column or row you drag. Hold the control key 
down to prevent automatic incrementing the values.
