Dragging the autofill handle will also fill in sequences. For example, A1 = 5, B1 = 10; selecting A1 and B1 and then drawing the fill handle to the right will fill in 15, 20, 25, etc. in subsequent cells. It also works on names of the months and days

Excell and Powerpoint are both good products. Did Microsoft buy them from someone originally?
