Final answer:

To display numbers 1 to 10 in Excel without typing them, enter '1' in a cell and drag the Fill Handle in the cell's bottom right corner across or down 10 cells to auto-fill the sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Fill Handle in Excel to Create a Number Sequence

To display values from 1 to 10 without manually typing them in Excel, use the Fill Handle. First, click on a cell and type the number 1. Then click on the cell to select it. You will notice a small square in the bottom right corner of the cell—this is the Fill Handle. Click and drag the Fill Handle downwards or across other cells. Excel will auto-fill the subsequent cells with increasing numbers to create a sequence from 1 to 10.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Enter the number 1 in the first cell where you want your sequence to start.
  2. Move your cursor to the bottom right corner of the cell until it turns into a '+ '(crosshair) shape.
  3. Click and drag the Fill Handle down or across to cover 10 cells.
  4. Release the mouse, and the cells will automatically fill with the numbers 1 to 10.

This feature is especially handy for quickly creating sequences and is widely used for data entry and analysis in Excel.
