Excel isn't picking up the pattern for autofill, just copying the first cell.

    Excel isn't picking up the pattern for autofill, just copying the first cell.

    I am trying to fill down a pattern where the first column value is repeated down three times and then adds 1. See the attachment. I selected everything I've done so far and tried Fill Series and just dragging it, and nothing is working. I don't have a filter on. Thanks in advance!

    What EXACTLY are you trying to do? WHICH value "is repeated down three times and then adds 1"? WHICH column?

    Where have you many=ually mocked up some expected results?

    Re: Excel isn't picking up the pattern for autofill, just copying the first cell.

    Hi, I apologize for not giving all of the details. It is the first column, A. You will see that I have done them manually from product3 to product48. They are set up like this:

    Product3
    Product3
    Product3
    Product4
    Product4
    Product4
    Product5
    Product5
    Product5


    ...and so on.
