Hi Depechez,

You could type in 1 in A1 and 2 in A2.
Then highlight them and pull the autofill handle (The little black
square in the buttom right cornor of your highligted selection) to the
row you want to.

Regards,
Bondi

In A1 enter 1

In A2 enter 2

Select both cells and drag/copy down column A as far as you wish.

OR

Enter 1 in A1

In name box enter A1:A12300 and ENTER

Edit>Fill>Series>OK

Try this:

Put the number 1 in the first cell and leave that cell selected

Then
From the Excel main menu:
<edit><fill><series>
Series in: (check Rows or Columns)
Stop Value: (enter the last number of the series)
Click the [OK] button


Does that help?
