Default Auto-fill numbers in groups of 4

In the first cell of the list, enter your starting number, e.g., 1000.
Then, in the cell below that, enter

=$A$5+TRUNC((ROW()-ROW($A$5))/4,0)

Change $A$5 to the reference to the first cell in which you entered
1000. Then, copy this formula down for as many rows as you need.

Cordially,

I would like to fill a column with progressive numbers in sets of 4 each.
For instance, A1 - A4 will have 1000 in them then A5-A8 will have 1001 and so
on.

Ideas?
Thx, V
