how to create a series of numbers

[passion_queen]

I'm studying Excel 2007, and I am having trouble creating a series of numbers
within Excel.

You have not described the problem you are having or what you are trying to do.

There is a Fill dropdown (extreme right) option under the HOME ribbon. Once
you click on it you get similar interface which you must be used to in Excel
2003.

Do let us know if you have any specific problem, so that we can try to help.

Hi,

Assuming that you are asking for a simple series of number 1,2,3,4,etc....
if you want Col wise then fill 1 in Col A1 and 2 in Col B1 then select both
these cells and drag from the LHS lower corner of the cell to whatever number
you want.

2)
If you want Row wise then fill 1 in col A1 and 2 Col A2 and drag vertically
as mentioned above.

In both the above options you will get the numbers in series.

Hi,
By using the ROW() or COLUMN() functions, it's possible to generate many
series.
For instance, assuming you want to go down the sheet, if in cell A1 you put
=row() and copy down, you will get 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 etc.
Here are a few variations
=2*ROW() will generate 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 etc
=2*ROW()-1 will generate 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 etc
=3*ROW()-2 will generate 1 4 7 10 13 16 etc
=ROW()^2 will generate 1 4 9 16 25 36 etc
=ROUNDUP(ROW()/2,0) will generate 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 etc
=MOD(ROW()-1,3) will generate 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 etc

Or are we all on the wrong track here?
