I'm trying to do a simple numbering pattern but running into some issues. This is an example of what I'm trying to do:

1
2
3
4
5
2
3
4
5
3
4
5
1
2


As you can see, I'm just trying to count 1 through 5, and then start the next cell with 2 and end with 1.

Thank you for any help on this.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
In rows 1-5, just type in the numbers. In row 6, use the formula =IF(A1+1>5,A1-4,A1+1) and fill down as far as you'd like!
