    increasing a series of numbers

    The sample file is attached.

    In the A column and D column, I want to increase the series,

    e.g in A column 5*3, 5*5, 5*7, 5*9, 5*11, 5*13, 5*15 and so on.
    in D column 7*3, 7*5, 7*7, 7*9, 7*11 and so on

    In A column I do it by selecting A1 to A9 and then drag to say A1000. Similarly D column. I don't want to drag this to A1000 rows. Is there a way, this can be done like with the FILL option, selecting A1 to A1000 and the series is filled.

    Thank you.

    Re: increaseing a series of numbes

    in A1
    ="5*"&3+INT((ROW()-1)/3)*2
    and copy down

    in D1
    ="7*"&3+INT((ROW()-1)/7)*2
    and copy down

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

    But how would this create gap in between,

    A1 5*3
    A2
    A3
    A4 5*5
    A5
    A6
    A7 5*7

    and so on.

    Like this can be done by selecting A1 to A6 and drag down as further possible.

    in A1
    =IF(MOD(ROW(A1),3)=1,"5*"&3+INT((ROW()-1)/3)*2,"")

    in D1
    =IF(MOD(ROW(A1),3)=1,"7*"&3+INT((ROW()-1)/7)*2,"")
