I don't know how to accomplish this task:
While staying in a single column, I would like to enter a value like 12 and
have it autofill eleven "x"s below the twelve indicating 12 rows including
the value entered totals 12.. make sense?
this needs to happen anyplace a value is entered in the column, that the
number of "x"s need to fill in below less one.

Row A

5
x - Autofills based on value above less that cell.
x
x
x
3 - Same here and down the column
x
x
4 - same
x
x
x

Thanks in advance.. I have read several CountIf .. Data Validation .. just
don't know how to start..

thanks
