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?

You will also need to change the 6 to 11 in this part SEQUENCE(,IF(y=65,6,16),y)

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
You will also need to change the 6 to 11 in this part SEQUENCE(,IF(y=65,6,16),y)
OK... so that got me from 1100 numbers to 1200 numbers. Can you explain to me what that number 6 represented so I can understand this formula better please?
Thank you very much for your time!

That's the number of columns left after dealing with the batches of 16 columns wide.

I feel like I am now a pain in the *** to you... I apologize. I am not getting what I want and I am getting frustrated because I can normally figure this out. I have attached a link to a photo of what I am wanting to do. (too large to attach here) Each cell represents a numbered label. Each page will stack on top of each other and then get cut in horizontal strips which will put them in sequential order when placed on top of each other. The example I attached would be exactly how I am setting this up, however the number values in each cell will change often and I would need them to be vertically down column A. I would need to be able to change those values as well as the quantity of labels I will be making. In this case I only need 1200 but the amount I have here is 1344. My goal would be to actually understand the formula and be able to change it to my needs.
Thank you in advance and again, I am sorry if I am being a pain.

That image is completely different from anything you have shown before.
How do you expect to get something that works when you keep moving the goal posts?

I am sorry... I realize I should have probably created this image early on instead of trying to explain it.

See if this works for you.

OK... that worked. Is there anyway to give it a stop value? In this case it would be 1-1200. Still need to be able to change the value of those numbers but would like to control the end value. This would been that the last "page" would be a partial page. So instead of 6 pages, it would be 5.XX pages but that will not work in place of the value of "6" for pages.

Are your strip lengths always 14? If not, how do you determine the strip lengths?
