    Repeating a number 3 times

    Thanks for all the help from everyone!

    How do repeat a number 3 times? I tried adding the following in Column A:
    A1: 1
    A2: 2
    A3: 3

    But when I dragged it down, it didnt repeat them perfect. In some places it was missing a number....

    I just need this:
    1
    2
    3
    1
    2
    3
    1
    2
    3
    etc...

    Thanks!

    Select the cells with 1,2,3 in
    Hold down Ctrl and drag in the bottom right hand corner of the cell containing 3

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

    What if I want to repeat a different set like this:
    145
    145
    145
    146
    146
    146

    I tried the same method but it didnt work, it left out one after about 100.

    In A1:A3: 145
    In A4 and copy down: =A1+1

    A2: 2
    A3: 3

    A4=A1
    A5=A2
    A6=A3
    Drag it down

    =MOD((ROW(A1)-1);3)+1

    If you want different repeating number change 3 with some other number or cell
