Repeat Cell Data in Ranges
I know how to autofill in Excel but haven't been able to autofill 1,1,1,1,(up
to 50 row cells) and then 2,2,2,2 (for the next 50 cells), then 3,3,3,3 and so forth up to 83,83,83,83,.... In other words, I want that sequence to increase by 1 every 50 cells from number 1 to 83. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. |

Repeat Cell Data in Ranges
Well, a thought would be to go 1 to 83 as a fill, then copy and paste it.
50*83 = 4150 cells long... Then, just sort by the column...

Repeat Cell Data in Ranges
Try this:
83 numbers repeated 50 times each = 4150 rows. Assume you want the numbers entered in the range A1:A4150. Enter the range A1:A4150 in the name box then hit enter. The name box is that little "box" immediately above the column A header. Type this formula: =CEILING(ROWS(A$1:A1)/50,1) Then hold down the CTRL key then hit ENTER. This will fill the range A1:A4150 with the sequence of numbers. With this range still selected do this: Goto EditCopy Then EditPaste SpecialValuesOK -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Alain" wrote in message ...

Thank you for answering my question Sean but I am not sure I understand what
you mean exactly. Could you please explain in more detail what you meant with the formula as if to a novice as I am somewhat one? Thank you.

Repeat Cell Data in Ranges
Sean, I might've phrased my question wrong. I am trying to have all these
cells (1,1,1,...2,2,2,2....3,3,3,3,3) repeated 50 times for each number all in one column going down (say column A).
