    Copying data to multiple rows and columns

    Hi All,

    Say I have the number 1 in cell A1, the number 2 in cell B1, and the number 3 in cell C1. If I wished to continue this pattern up to the the number 10 I could highlight
    the cells and drag across to cell J1. But what if I want to drag it across and down as well so that:

    A1 = 1, B1 = 2, C1 = 3, D1 = 4, E1 =5
    A2 = 6, B2 = 7, C2 = 8, D2 = 9, E2 = 10

    I have been trying to find an answer to this for a while now however I have not been able to come up with a search term that results with an answer. I am hoping
    that I explained my question well enough however if you need more info I am more than happy to supply it.

    You'll need a formula to do that
    This works

    in A1
    =(ROW()-1)*5+COLUMN()

    Note this will only work for 5 columns, but thats all you've said you wanted.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Thanks for your reply. Just a little note... I was actually able to copy that to as many columns as I would like. Not sure why.
    That formula worked well, but what if I wanted to copy something besides numbers? For example, if I created a calendar and
    wanted to quickly set up the dates in the calendar, or if I had a formula that I wanted to continue to the next row. How would
    I go about doing that?
