Is there a way to fill org-mode's table cell with the values nearby?

Hi All

I am wondering whether we have a handy way to fill table's cell with the
values nearby.
Like in office excel:
- C-d: Fill current cell with the value of the upper cell
- C-r: Fill current cell with the value of the left cell.

Thanks & Regards

S-RET will do the trick. If the current cell is empty, it copies the 
first non-blank line above. If the current cell is not empty, it copies 
and moves to the cell below. It will also (depending on value of 
org-table-copy-increment) increment integer values as it does so.

If you supply an arg, S-RET copies from that many non-empty lines above. 
With a 0 (zero) as the arg, it disables the integer increment for the 
next copy.

There's a description on p.18 of v6.34c of the manual.

No we do not, but this would be easily programmed.

The keys you propose are not possible though.
