Here's how to Apply Same Formula to Multiple Cells in Excel.

i. There are a few ways to duplicate formulas across multiple cells automatically in Excel.

**Using the fill handle**

One way is to use the fill handle. To do this, select the cell that contains the formula you want to duplicate. Then, drag the fill handle down or across the cells where you want the formula to be copied. Excel will automatically fill in the cells with the formula, adjusting the cell references as needed.

**Using the fill series**

Another way to duplicate formulas across multiple cells automatically is to use the fill series. To do this, select the cell that contains the formula you want to duplicate. Then, click on the **Fill** button in the **Home** tab and select **Series**. In the **Series** dialog box, select the type of series you want to create and enter the desired values. Click on the **OK** button to create the series.

**Using the Auto Fill Options**

You can also use the Auto Fill Options to duplicate formulas across multiple cells automatically. To do this, select the cell that contains the formula you want to duplicate. Then, drag the fill handle down or across the cells where you want the formula to be copied. When you release the mouse button, a small arrow will appear in the lower-right corner of the last filled cell. Click on the arrow and select **Fill Options**. In the **Fill Options** dialog box, select the **Fill Series** option and click on the **OK** button.

**Using the Copy and Paste**

You can also duplicate formulas across multiple cells automatically by using the Copy and Paste commands. To do this, select the cell that contains the formula you want to duplicate. Then, press **Ctrl+C** to copy the formula. Next, select the cells where you want the formula to be copied. Then, press **Ctrl+V** to paste the formula.

Which method you use to duplicate formulas across multiple cells automatically will depend on your specific needs. If you only need to duplicate a formula across a few cells, the fill handle or fill series may be the easiest option. If you need to duplicate a formula across a large number of cells, the Copy and Paste command may be the best option.

ii. The Excel formula for repetition is:

```
=REPT(text, number_times)
```

Where:

* **text** is the text that you want to repeat.
* **number_times** is the number of times you want to repeat the text.

For example, if you want to repeat the text "Hello" 5 times, you would use the formula:

```
=REPT("Hello", 5)
```

This would return the value:

```
HelloHelloHelloHelloHello
```

The REPT function can be used to repeat text, numbers, or formulas. It is a useful function for creating patterns or filling in cells with data.
