I know there are some topics about autofill in merged cells, but I couldn't find what I need. I don't even know if it's possible.


Is there a way to autofill numbers in this kind of table? (see image bellow). There are cells merged in rows and columns. Numbers with 2 or 3 digits, depending on the number of columns.

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
You can only autofill merged ranges that are equal in size (same number of rows and columns).

Anything with more than one dot / period is a text string, not a number. Even without merged cells, the pattern would be difficult (if not impossible) to create.
