Default Consecituve Numbering

I am trying to do similiar function, but need to keep assigning each row a
number 1-5, until end of list. In this case, the numbering starts in A1 and
ends in A35000 - each row/cell will have a numeric value assigned of 1-5.

This seems like it should be so simple. i have tried edit/fill/series then
entered 1 for step and 5 for stop, but it only fills in the first five cells
1 through 5 and does not continue filling in even if i have the cells
selected.

How do i repeate the sequence of numbering 1 - 5 until end? Thanks!!!
A1 1 (starting number)
A2 2
A3 3
A4 4
A5 5 (ending number)
A6 1 -Starts over again with 1
A7 2
A8 3
A9 4
A10 5
A11 1 SERIES STARTS AGAIN WITH 1 AND GOES TO 5
A12 2
A13 3
A14 4
A15 5 "
A16 1 - SERIES STARTS AGAIN TO 5


One way.

Put a 1 in a1
select A1 - A50
then
Edit|Fill| and select "series"
click OK
