Method 1:
Put a 1 in the first cell, a 2 in the second, then select both and drag.

Method 2
Put a 1 in the first cell. Hold down the control key while you drag.

Hello everyone.
I'm using Excel 2000.

I created a column, and in the first cell, I typed the number 1. I then
tried to drag down so each subsequent cell has the next number in

sequence,
but all the cells contained the number 1.

In other words, I want the cells to appear as follows:
1
2
3
4
5
6
etc.

But they're all
1
1
1

What should I do to get an ascending numerical list in this column?
(It's probably so simple, I'm overlooking it.)

Thank you!
J. Danniel
