How about this one... I need to number 0001 to 1500 only in groups of 5. iE:
0001,0002,0003,0004,0005,0751,0752,0753,0754,0755, 0006,0007,0008,0009,0010,0756,0757,0758,0759,0760. ...all
the way to 1500. What formula or fill series will make this work?

If it is just for display purposes then Custom format the cells,
(Highlight
the calls then select Format Cells Custom ) as 0000 then numbers will
then be displayed with leading zeros if there are fewer digits.

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

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?
