I have 1100 sequential numbers that need to be in a certain order which I can't explain lol.
See image. Notice the pattern. the number "1" in cell one. The number "2" in cell 15. The number "3" in cell 29. (every 14th cell)
Number "17" in cell 2. Number "18" in cell 16, number "19" in cell 30 (every 16th number)
They will all be down column A till the number 1100. (I have them in C and E to be able to see the pattern)
Is there a fill series or table or something that would be able to do this?

I think Fluff's is the way to go. The blanks in mine are artifacts created when the 14x80 array isn't filled in completely...because the series stops short of a complete row near the end. And when I applied TOCOL to the results, the blanks remain. Fluff's use of WRAPCOLS solves that issue...inducing errors for the remainder of that incomplete row. And the TOCOL option 2 cleans up the errors...clever!

Glad we could help & thanks for the feedback.
Well... back to the drawing board.
OK... so I have to set it up differently and it needs to be duplicatable and the values need to change when needed. The goal is to have all of these numbers in one column (like previous) In the example below it would start with the number 1 and go down a column to 16. Then skip 55 numbers and go to 71-86. Then skip 55 numbers and go from 141-156. This will end with 1066. Basically I need to stack each row (on page 1 in the yellow) on top of each other.
Then right under 1066 will be the start of page 2 (Q1 n the example) and go 17-32, skip 55 numbers etc.
As long as I can change the values of the numbers in the formula, then I think I would need just the formula for one page and I can duplicate it with different values for the additional pages.
My brain hurts lol

How about
Excel Formula:
=DROP(REDUCE("",SEQUENCE(5,,,16),LAMBDA(x,y,VSTACK(x,TOCOL(CHOOSECOLS(SEQUENCE(16,70),SEQUENCE(,IF(y=65,6,16),y)))))),1)

That is it! Now how do I change the numbers. For instance, instead of 1-1120, I will be using 114303-115423 (which is a range of 1120) Next month will be a different set of 1100+ numbers.

You can use
Excel Formula:
=DROP(REDUCE("",SEQUENCE(5,,,16),LAMBDA(x,y,VSTACK(x,TOCOL(CHOOSECOLS(SEQUENCE(16,70,114303),SEQUENCE(,IF(y=65,6,16),y)))))),1)
or put the start number in another cell (say B1) and use
Excel Formula:
=DROP(REDUCE("",SEQUENCE(5,,,16),LAMBDA(x,y,VSTACK(x,TOCOL(CHOOSECOLS(SEQUENCE(16,70,B1),SEQUENCE(,IF(y=65,6,16),y)))))),1)

That worked. Thank you everyone for your help, much appreciated.

Hey Fluff... your formula worked and I really appreciate that. However, this month there are 1200 numbers instead of 1100+ last month. How do I change the value to reflect the amount of numbers I need?

You need to change the 16 & 70 in this part SEQUENCE(16,70,B1) depending on what you need

Well... I see that 16 x 70 = 1120 which is exactly what I asked for last time, but I am having a hard time figuring out what that represents to be able to change them to equal 1200. I know that 16 is the amount of rows If I change the 70 to 75 and multiply that by 16, I will get 1200 which is what I need, but it doesn't work in the formula.
