Generate a special numerical sequence in Excel 97
 

I want to automatically generate the following recursive numerical sequence
in a column (e.g., column "A"): a1=0, a2=9, a3=10, a4=19, a5=20, a6=29,
a7=30, a8=39, a9=40, a10=49, a11=50 ... etc up to about a2000. I have not
been able to figure out a formula to use with click and drag.

Enter 0 in A1
9 in A2
=A1+10 in A3
=A2+10 in A4

Select A3 AND A4 both and drag down ...

I tried this before without any luck. I forgot to use the "shift key" along
with the left mouse button to select the pair of cells to drag. Thanks,
everything works OK now.
