Enter a number 1 in your start cell - I used A4 but any cell will work for
the formula. Then in the cell below enter the formula:

=A4+1-(MOD(ROW()-ROW($A$4),3)<0)

Now highlight the range from A5 in my case to the end cell that you want
using one of the methods already mentioned in this thread and then select
Edit Fill down

Hi, I'm trying to do the same type of thing only numbering in triplicate.
Is
this possible using the fill series. It is adding an extra cell every 3rd
record. I need the database to read 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3 etc Can this be
done?
