Try this in B1 and copy down till the required range (till row no which is 5
times the last row in A)
=INDIRECT("A" & (INT((ROW()-1)/5)+1))

How about just copy the list and pasting at the bottomm 4 times.

Then sort the list.

Thanks that helped
Do you have a suggestion now to get the numbers
4
5
6
7
8
to repeat in order 5 times?


thanks

Just put them in Col A, as many as you want...

and extend the formula (5 times the numbers in Col A) in Col B
so if you have 100 numbers copy the formula down to B500

Col A can have anything... formula will repeat all values five times in Col
B, if copied to 5 times the count in Col A
