Hi all,

I need help to fill excel columns with series of numbers as below.

I have to fill the dimension of panels in below sequence from size [16 inch x 21 inch]to [43 inch x 49 inch] with the step of 0.5 inch on both the sides as bellow.

The above range mentioned is dynamic and should be possible to change the range as required. Like for example [21 inch x 24 inch] to [55 inch x 65 inch].

please see the attached image for example..

One point is, in case of duplicates, display only one size with smaller width... for example, 16 x 21 and 21 x 16. in this case display 16 x 21.

Could anybody please help to develop the excel VBA code for this.

Thanks in advance.

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
For the following setup:

D2 formula will be:
Excel Formula:
=IF($A$1+FLOOR((COUNTA($D$1:D1)/2)/((($B$2-$A$2)*2)+1),0.5)>$B$1,"",$A$1+FLOOR((COUNTA($D$1:D1)/2)/((($B$2-$A$2)*2)+1),0.5))
E2 formula will be:
Excel Formula:
=IF(D2<>"",IF(D1<>D2,$A$2,E1+0.5),"")

Dear Flashbond,
Thank you very much for the inputs. I tried the formula and found that the result is not covering the full range of panel size mentioned...
Could you please see the attachment with values I tried manually to get the output. for example, as you can see the panel sizes of 16 x 21 to 16 x 42.5 and similar are missing in the result output. Could you please suggest how this can be covered in the formula?
Thank you in advance..

Hello, I designed as:
A1 is x side minimum. B1 is x side maximum
A2 is y side minimum, B2 is y side maximum.

Dear Flashbond,
It was great help indeed..
One last question related to my requirement mentioned above....
"One point is, in case of duplicates, display only one size with smaller width... for example, 16 x 21 and 21 x 16. in this case display only 16 x 21."
Is this possible to control making some corrections in the formula?? any idea??
Thanks always..
