I'm wondering if there's a better way than what I'm doing to generate a cyclical sequence given the length and number of elements in each cycle. For example, I'm generating a sequence of length 21 rows. Each of the cycle consists of 3 elements (1,2,3).

ABC

2Num of element in each cycle3

To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
a slightly shorter way

Excel Formula:

Solution
Both work, however, Fluff's is a tad shorter without the -1. Thank you for the answers.
