Two options.

Enter the values once, highlight these three cells, then use the fill handle
bar at bottom right to drag down.

OR

enter three cells, in A4, enter =A1 and copy just this cell to bottom. Copy
and paste special/values when done.

Your first option was perfect. So simple I should have known to try that.
Thanks.
