how do I quickly insert numbers 1 to 100 in a column in Excel?
Being a dyed-in-the-wool keyboarder, I'm drag-fill aversive....but...
Here's what I'd really like to see....
Put a 1 in a cell
Right-click the fill handle and drag down 1 cell
....Select "Series" from the popup menu
....Enter 100 in "Stop value" (other settings would already be filled properly)
....Press [enter] and the series would extend all the way to 100
But, alas, no....it stops as 2

Put a 1 in the first cell
Type these keys: [alt] E I S (short cuts for <edit<fill<series)
Check: Columns
Stop Value: 100
Press [enter]
Does that help?

I can enter the number 1, then pull the cursor down the column until the
cells become populated with the rest of the numbers in sequence? I
