How to Insert Numbers Using Macros in Excel

I wanted to insert consecutive numbers in a cool way. And the way I found was to insert numbers using Macros in Excel!

We get to learn to use a loop as well to do this!

Make sure your Excel has the Developer Tab enabled following this tutorial.

I explain how you can do this below step by step!

What does it do?

Asks for a max number, then generates numbers from 1 to the max number

Copy Source Code:

Sub InsertNumbers()

Dim maxNumber As Integer
Dim counter As Integer

On Error GoTo Last
maxNumber = InputBox("Enter the Max Value", "Generate 1 to n")
'Generate all the numbers
For counter = 1 To maxNumber
ActiveCell.Value = counter
'Move one cell below
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Next counter
Last: Exit Sub
End Sub

Final Result: 

Exercise Workbook:

STEP 1: Go to Developer > Code > Visual Basic

 

STEP 2: Make sure Sheet1 is selected, paste in your code and Select Save. Close the window afterwards.

 

STEP 3: Let us test it out!

Select any cell that you want to insert numbers on. Go to Developer > Code > Macros

Make sure your macro is selected. Click Run.

We want to insert 10 numbers. Type in 10.

With that, you are now able to insert consecutive numbers using macros!
