There a couple of ways to do this.
If you don't have too many numbers you want to list, you can enter a 1 in a
cell. Notice that this cell, when selected, has a little square block in
the bottom right corner of the cell. Hold the Ctrl key down and put the
mouse cursor on that little block, hold the left mouse button down, and drag
that cell as far down as you want.
If you have a lot of numbers to list, do this. Enter a 1 in a cell.
With that cell selected, click on Edit - Fill. Select Series. In the
"Series in:" area, select Columns. In the "Type", select Linear. For "Step
value:", put 1. For "Stop value:", put your ending number, say 6000. Click
OK. Done. HTH Otto

This is probably easy to do but I'm really new to this stuff!
Is it possible for Excel to make a numbered list without me having to type
every number? i.e.
1
2
3
4
5 and so on.
Each number in the cell below!
I may need to type 1 to 6000 and I don't fancy blisters on my fingers.hee
hee! ;0)

Thanks in advance Guys!
