Sandy, this formula worked great for my last job, but now i need to number in
triplicate starting with 0001 to 1500. Excel eliminates those preceding zeros
and I need them to be there. I have tried to format the cells to text but
then this formula does not work. Can you help me out with this one?

Enter a number 1 in your start cell - I used A4 but any cell will work
for
the formula. Then in the cell below enter the formula:

=A4+1-(MOD(ROW()-ROW($A$4),3)0)

Now highlight the range from A5 in my case to the end cell that you want
using one of the methods already mentioned in this thread and then select
Edit Fill down

news Hi, I'm trying to do the same type of thing only numbering in
triplicate.
Is
this possible using the fill series. It is adding an extra cell every
3rd
record. I need the database to read 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3 etc Can this be
done?
