    write in B2 12:00
    Then in B3 use formula =B1+0.5/24

    0.5 / 24 (half hour step divided by 24 hours... So if you want to change step then change this factor).

    ...or put 12:00 in B2 and 12:30 in B3. Select both cells and drag down.

    Re: entering the time in each cell

    Depending on what the OP is going to use this for, both suggestions have/create rounding errors.

    B2:Bn = sequence generated by one of the suggestions

    Try this...

    D2 = 13:00 (manually entered)

    E2: =MATCH(D2,B:B,0)

    Result: #N/A

    And you'll get the same result for many attempted matches.

    Re: entering the time in each cell

    Try this...

    Enter 12:00 AM in B2

    Enter this formula in C2:

    =ROUND((B2+TIME(0,30,0))*1440,0)/1440

    Format as h:mm am/pm then copy across as needed.
