How To Automatically Add Numbers In Google Sheets
Quick Navigation
The key to auto-filling in Google Sheets is to insert the initial two or more data to indicate a pattern for Google Sheets to follow later on.
Sequential Numbers
To auto-fill numbers, you simply need to insert 1 and 2 in the first two cells, then pull the dot at the bottom-right corner of the cells downwards to fill up the empty cells.
Sequential Even Numbers
You can also fill in only the even numbers. Similar to the above, you will insert 2 and 4 in the first two cells, then pull the dot at the bottom-right corner of the cells downwards to fill up the empty cells.
Sequential Odd Numbers
You guessed it! Auto-filling odd numbers works the same way as the above. Simply insert 1 and 3 in the first two cells, then pull the dot at the bottom-right corner of the cells downwards to fill up the empty cells.
