    help with numbering

    Hello everyone,

    My name is Tim and I am pretty new at excel and I need some help.
    I am sure it's easy for you guys but I can't find a soulution and would like you're input.

    Problem:
    Let's say I have in colummn A1 to A10 number 1 and from cell A11 to A20 number 2,
    how can I sequence these numbers automatically (so the next sequence would be A21 to A30 number 3,
    and from A31 to A40 number 4 ect..). I can't seem to find a way to automatically generate number that
    are the same 10 cells at a time.

    I would really appriciate you're help.

    Best regards,

    TIM

    If you put the same dates in cell A1:A10 then in cell A11: =A1+1 and copy down
    And don't forget to format the cells as Dates
