Re: [libreoffice-users] Create a list of ascending numbers with repeats
LO seems to extend the series with 5 x 1s, 5 x 2s and then 10 x 3s, 10 x 4s, etc. Possibly a bug and should be 5 x 3s, 5 x 4s, etc. I have found a couple of other cases where the series does not extend well. 123 was very good at extending series. I found Calligra gets it right. Steve On 2013-04-23 22:52, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) I couldn't see the problem tbh, sorry! Is it that there are 5 x 1s, 5 x 2s and then 10 x 3s? Did you want just 5 x 3s and then 5 x 4s? or were you expecting it to go back to 1s instead of progressing to 3s?

Alternatively you could use a formula based on the row number. If your range starts in row 1, =INT((ROW()-1)/5)+1 would work. You would have to modify this if your range starts in a later row. You will now have the results you desire, but some will be as formulae, not as numbers. If you wish to have numbers instead, copy the range and paste it back over itself - but using Edit | Paste Special... (or right-click | Paste Special... or Ctrl+Shift+V) instead of ordinary Paste. In the Paste Special dialogue, remove the tick from Paste all if necessary, and ensure that Numbers is ticked but Formulas is not ticked. I trust this helps.
