Hi Pinkie
In A1 put 1, in A2 put 2
Highlight both cells and drag the little black box in the bottom right of
Cell A2, down as far as you need.


Autofill is the keyword search in Help, and then select Fill series.

selected.believe it or not using your help system I was unable to find out
how to perform this extremely elementary operation. I was unable to find the
fill option anywhere on the tool bar!
I believe your help system needs to be really improved on!
