Hi Mohamed,
Autofilling has always confused me too. It's a bit strange because it works with these 'unwritten' rules, so to say.
So, what the instructor is doing is he's selecting several cells 1,2,3 and then dragging down. In this way, Excel understands this is a series and continues the series. If you don't make the selection and you only drag one cell, then you'll receive the same value.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Ned
