    Automatically create A1 to A??? list

    Good Morning,

    How can I get A1 to ??? automatically fill out as follows;

    A1 = Pad 1
    A2 = Pad 2
    A3 = Pad 3
    etc

    C3 has total pads. In this case 47 so I would like A1:A47 to automatically fill out Pad 1 to Pad 47 or to whatever value is in C1

    Would like to do this without adding any extra rows or columns.

    If you have the SEQUENCE function available you could use this.

    ="Pad "&SEQUENCE(C1)
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    Thanks for that, please update your profile to show 2019, rather than 20.

    Try in A1 copied down as far as needed.
    =IF(ROW()<=$C$1,"Pad "&ROW(),"")

    If you have the sequence function, then you are using 365 & not 2019.
