Try with sequence of the same number repeated twice, and incrementing by one. i.e you want two rows each for a sequence of numbers: 223,223,224,224,225,225,226,226.... Looks great, but if you select the cells you will see fractional numbers, no matter that the pattern numbers are all integers or how many you pre-enter and select to show the series pattern to EXCEL. Why does EXCEL not see that the sequence begins with integers? If anything EXCEL should assume integer increments when "fill series" is selected, unless forced to do otherwise.
