Yes, if it needs to be a number, the plus is a much better way to go!

Hello ExcelIsFun,
Great video! I have something to add though.

There is a simpler way to do this if you need to go all the way up to 1.7
as in: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4....
=DEC2OCT(ROWS(A$1:A9))/10
If Excel had the "Dec2Sen" function it could work for the problem you gave in the video.

Hello Mike
Instead of CEILING() I use QUOTIENT(). Because it's the "counterpart" to MOD().
=QUOTIENT(ROWS(C$7:C7)-1, 5)+1

What if you don’t want to be limited to 5 within the formula? I’d like to be able to have the sequence of numbers changed in column c when column b changes.

is a usable way to put it all together. Sorry if it's problems with the formula. Have to translate the formula from the swedish Excel. But i think you get my idea.

A function that converts a number from a decimal base (base 10) to an octal base (base 8).
It can be found under the "More Functions" -> "Engineering" in Excel.

Can anyone please provide an example(s) when to use sequential numbers and why it's preferred? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't matter.
It uses column A to count rows, it doesn't matter what the cell's values are.
The cells can be empty or full.
You can even type the formula itself in column A.

Great, but what about reverse numbering? How could I increment the numbering in reverse order, like 10, 10, 8, 8, 6, 6 and 10, 9, 8, 10, 9, 8 and etc.

Why not just put =F7+1 in cell F12, copy that down and be done with it?
