Hi, This is an interesting one. I didn’t realize that Numbers was smart enough to figure out patterns like that and extrapolate it on to the desired cells. The problem is that VO doesn’t seem to have the ability to locate the little yellow dot that it speaks of in the documentation and Help articles found around the Internet. So far, I haven’t figured out a keyboard shortcut for this action either. You probably need to speak with someone at Apple Accessibility and ask for a feature enhancement that allows for this action to have a keyboard shortcut. As far as I can tell, it can only be done with mouse drags once that yellow dot has been visually located. The behaviour you’re seeing is normal behaviour for Auto Fills and such but this pattern recognition is a little different.
Haven’t quite given up yet, but it’s not looking good.

I highlight them and choose from the menue the point to fill the cells downwards automatically. I expected Numbers to continue the row with 5, 7, 9, etc. But it didn't work. Numbers simply fills all the cells with the number 1 which was the number in the first cell. A similar issue occurs with automatic filling dates. If I write May 1st 2015, highlight the cells below and go to the menue as discribed the cells are filled with May 2nd 2015, May 3rd 2015 and so forth. But what if I want to fill the cells with June 1st 2015, July 1st 2015 and so forth? I tried the same method discribed in the help section, so I simply highlighted the first two cells containing May 1st 2015 and June 1st 2015 and choose the menue to fill downwards. Unfortunately it didn't work either. Numbers filled all the highlighted cells with May 1st 2015, May 2nd 2015 and so forth. I've read in the help section of something yellow the sighted users have to hold with the mouse and pull it downwards. But I couldn't detect something like this yellow thing. So, to cut a long story short: does anyone of you have an idea how to solve these challenges above? Thanks a lot in advance and all the best Jürgen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
