The IAutoFill namespace provides capabilities for applying and managing auto-fill operations
within a spreadsheet. Auto-fill enables automatic generation of data based on patterns in existing data.
Key Features:
Linear Fill: Automatically generate sequential values for numbers or dates, continuing from existing patterns.
Ordinal Fill: Fill data based on strings with numeric identifiers (e.g., Point 1, Point 2, Point 3).
List Fill: Populate ranges with repeating values from predefined lists.
Custom Fill Handlers: Extend auto-fill capabilities by providing custom logic for generating fill data.
Motivation:
The IAutoFill namespace is designed to streamline the process of generating predictable data
patterns in a spreadsheet. By identifying existing patterns and applying them to empty ranges,
users can efficiently populate large datasets with minimal manual input.
Auto-fill supports both built-in patterns, such as numbers and dates, and allows users or developers
to define their own custom fill rules to meet specific use cases.
This namespace provides the necessary APIs to:
Detect and extend patterns in existing data.
Customize the fill behavior for specific types of data.
Handle edge cases, such as non-contiguous ranges or mixed data types.
Auto-fill reduces repetitive tasks, improving productivity and minimizing errors when working with large datasets.
