I already have an exsisting sequence in a worksheet. I now need to
expand the sequence. When I pull down on the fill handle the sequence
continues by 1's and not 10's as it should. Any suggestions.

Select the last two cells in your list before using the fill handle. Excel
should then recognize the pattern of increasing by 10 and autofill
accordingly.

Make sure you have at least 2 or 3 numbers of your sequence selected before
you use the pull-down.
If you have 10, then drag, it will go by one.
If you have 10 and 20 and 30 selected, then drag down, it will fill in tens.

Assuming you have

ABC10
ABC20
ABC30

Select at least two of the cells before dragging.

Your example is the type of sequence that I have and I have done what
you suggested, but it still counts by ones's.

Try right-click and drag.

Release the button and select "Fill Series"

Does that work?
