sequence numbers
 

I have a list of numbers, let's say 1-100, and I would like each number to
list 8 times before the next number starts. So, lines 1-8 would be 1, lines
9-16 would be 2 and so on...

sequence numbers
 

The following subroutine will do what you want.
Be aware it will overwrite non-blank cells
Practice on a blank worksheet; then copy to the 'working' worksheet!

Sub repeater()
Dim myValue As Integer, myLast As Integer
Dim n As Integer, j As Integer
Dim Message, Title, Default

Message = "What is the last number?"
Title = "Last number"
Default = "1"
myLast = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)

Message = "How many repeats?"
Title = "Repeats" ' Set title.
Default = "1"
myValue = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)

Range("A1").Select ' where the first number goes

For n = 1 To myLast ' use For n = 5 to start at 5, etc
For j = 1 To myValue
ActiveCell.Value = n
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Next j
Next n
End Sub

Did you get a chance to look at my consolidation problem?

Another way:

Enter the starting number in the first cell:

A1 = 1

Then enter this formula in the next cell (A2 in this case) and copy down as
needed:

=A$1+INT(ROWS(A$2:A2)/8)
