auto fill series between to non-adjacent cells

[Guest]

Hi. I wondered if there's any way that Excel can auto-fill a series of cells
between two cells.
For example - I cell AH contains the figure 280 and cell AW contains the
figure 258 - I'd like Exel to automatically fill the cells AI to AV so that
they decrease in equal increments down to the final cell. Is this possible?
Otherwise I have to divide difference between the two figures and decrease
each cell manually. This is something I need to do many times between
different cells.
I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks

Manster,

Select the range of cells AH to AW then

Edit|Fill|series.

Excel should be clever enough to have set the step to -1 so simply click OK.
