How do I override drag-fill data from sequencing?
I have some phone numbers and addresses that I am dragging down to new rows using Smartsheet's drag-fill function, but it seems to change the last number in the phone number and the last number in the mailing zip code every time. How do I prevent it from auto-sequencing during drag-fill?
I tried the old Excel trick where you add an ' apostrophe in front but it either erases it immediately upon hitting enter, or it ignores it completely and keeps sequencing.

If you're looking to repeat the same phone number or same zip code, copy/paste it into a second cell first. Then drag-fill both cells down:
Selecting two cells before dragging down will tell the drag-fill function that you're looking to repeat the same data instead of increase it by 1.
