Default Block Of Numbers Repeating in a Formula

If I understand what you want to do correctly, you don't need the OFFSET
function. If you are starting you block counting in Row 1, then use this
formula and copy it down...

=1+MOD(ROW()-1,20)

If you are going to start in a row other than Row 1, then change the -1
to -rownum where you would use the starting row number in place of rownum.
So that, if you were starting your count in Row 4, then you would put this
in that cell and copy down....

=1+MOD(ROW()-4,20)

These formulas will preserve the correct numbering if you insert rows later
on (although you would have to copy the formula from one of the adjacent
cells to preserve the continuity of the formulas).

Hello,

I am trying to use the OFFSET($A$1, 1, 2) command. What I want to do
is to make the row count up 1-20 as I go down my column, but I need it
to do that about 20 times, repeating that block. I have tried to get
it to repeat, but I cannot.

If you need more clarification, please ask for it. Thank you for you
help.
