Count and write the number for every fifth row

[andham]

Hallo!

I need to have the counter to count every row consecutively, but to write the consecutive number in the first cell in every fifth row.
F.e. A$1$ should have the number 1 but A$6$ should have the number 2 and so on.
IŽd be really grateful for some help.

Your suggestion really worked out fine.

Hallo, Alan!

It seems to be my lucky day.
Your option explicit turned out to work as well as Mick`s solution.
At first I didnŽt succeed. Executing the macro returned a compilation error, but I notice having aligned
y = InputBox("How many numbers to fill?") x=1 in the same row
Separating x=1 solved the problem.

Thanks very much!

Have a nice day!
