    Auto inputting figures

    Ok, all I want is to fill 1000 cells with totals increasing by 100 each time....

    so 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 at the way up to 100,000!!!! There must be a way to do this automatically but I can't for the life of me do it!!!!

    Cheers guys!!!

    Hi dollydoodah,

    In A1, A2, A3 enter 100, 200, 300.

    select/highlight A1, A2, A3.

    in the lower right corner of the selected cells is the "fill handle". Just hover over the fill handle until the cursor changes to a small black cross, then click and drag down as required.

    Cheers,

    Re: Auto inputting figures

    don't know if I'm doing something wrong but that is only copying in 100, 200, 300 etc into all the cells I drag it over....

    I want the cells to have from 100 to 100,000 in 100 incriments...

    Like I said don't know if I did something wrong

    Hi dollydoodah,

    Two questions:

    1) Are you holding down the Ctrl key? If so, then don't.

    2) Are you dragging down or across? The instruction was to drag down.

    If neither of these work, then I can only guess you have a setting in your options that has changed.

    Cheers,
