    Fill Handle and Series of Numbers Help Please

    Folks, many thanks for being on this forum and helping so many users with Excel. I consider myself an experienced user but this problem has got me stumped.

    In Column 1 I want to use the fill handle to auto format a series of numbers like this:

    451
    451
    451
    451
    452
    452
    452
    452
    453
    etc.

    All the way to 550

    Excel automatically states averaging when I use the fill handle and I'll get 451, 451, 451 , 452, 452, 453, etc.

    How do I format these so they don't average and I get 4 cell values, then advance one, and then another 4 cell values.

    I've tried formatting as a series, changing formatting to text, and so on. Probably ridicously simple, but I just can't figure it out.

    Many thanks,

    Badbob
