    Need help with columns repeating numbers

    I have a report that has...
    001
    001
    001
    001
    002
    002
    002
    and so on till I get to 132 but being that I have to repeat the same number 4 times it's not letting me drag the sequence.

    Is there an easier way then manually entering this?

    Re: Need help with columns...

    Try using formula:

    =MOD(INT((ROW(A1)-1)/4),1000)+1

    copied down as far as you need.

    You can then copy the column and Paste Special|Values over itself to get rid of the formula

    Then format column as Custom: 000
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    This is working but I have to have two zeros before each number and the formula isn't letting me.
