How to autofill a sequence

[Randy Pirtle]

How can I autofill a sequence like the following.
I would start with:

1
1
2
2
3
3
..... and it would contunue to autofill....
4
4
5
5
6
6
.....
Can this be done without vba coding?
Greatly appreciate any help.
Best Regards

1 Select the relevant range you that already contains the series.
2 With the range selected, point your mouse over the bottom right corner of
the last cell in the range.
3 Right click your mouse and drag down as far as you need.
4 Release the right mouse button and you should be presented with a number
of options - select "Fill Series"

William,

Your suggestion didn't work for me. I did as you said and got:

1
1
2
2
3
3
3.6
4.057142857
4.514285714
4.971428571
5.428571429
5.885714286
6.342857143
6.8
7.257142857
7.714285714
8.171428571
8.628571429
9.085714286
9.542857143
10

So I wrote a simple formula to do the fill i.e.

=IF(A5-A6=0,A6+1,A6) and copied it down the range.

A1 = 1
A3 = 2

Select A1 to A*4*
And drag down as needed.

This will give you a sequential number in all the odd numbered rows.
If it doesn't, try it all over again!

NOW, while the column is *still* selected,
Hit <F5>, then <Special>, then <Blanks>, then <OK>.
NOW, hit equal sign <=>, then <UpArrow>,. then <Ctrl> <Enter>
WHEW ! ! ! You're finally done !

Type a 1 in the first two cells, e.g. A1 and A2
In the next cell (A3), type: =A1+1
Select cell A3, and point to the fill handle
(the small black square at the bottom right of the cell)
Drag down as far as you need.

Looks like you hit the darned fly with the swatter, while I used the damned
cannon.<g>
