Inserting a series
You can copy cell values into other cells and, for example, increment them at the same time (the value is changed according to mathematical rules).
- Enter a value in a cell.
- Click the black handle at the bottom right corner of the cell and drag it in the downwards or across to select the cells into which to copy the value.
- Select .
- Specify the type of series, the amount by which it should increment and the final value.
Example
To create a list, counting in fives from zero to one hundred, enter 0 in a cell. Drag the cell handle downwards to select 20 rows. Select
and select as the type. Set 5 as the Increment and 100 as the final value.Series options
- The Type section
- Here you specify how the values of the series or the dates are increased.
- Arithmetical
- The values of the series are increased by the increment.
- Geometrical
- Each value is the result of multiplying the previous value by the specified increment. For example, 5 with an increment of 2 produces this series: 5,10,20,40,80....
- Date
- Here you can create a series that is based on the date. Select a time unit and the increment by which it should be increased.
- Time Unit
- The Time units are Day, Week-day, Month and Year. If you select Weekday, Saturdays and Sundays are not displayed.
- Direction
- Select Rows to create the series in rows. Select Columns to create the series in columns.
