SEQUENCE function

The SEQUENCE function returns an array of sequential numbers, such as 1, 2, 3, 4.

Parts of a SEQUENCE function

SEQUENCE(rows, columns, start, step)

Part	Description
rows	Required. The number of rows to return
columns	Optional. The number of columns to return. If omitted, the returned array will have one column.
start	Optional. The number to start the sequence at. If omitted, the sequence will start at 1.
step	Optional. The amount to increase/decrease each number in the sequence. If omitted, the sequence will increase by 1.

Sample formulas

Example 1: SEQUENCE(2)

Example 2: SEQUENCE(2, 3)

Example 3: SEQUENCE(2, 3, 3, 2)

Example 4: SEQUENCE(2, 3, 10, -1)

Notes

If columns is omitted, the resulting array will be a vertical list. If a horizontal list is needed, either specify rows as 1 and specify columns or transpose the vertical result.

Result for A1=SEQUENCE(2)

	A	B
1	1
2	2

Result for A1= SEQUENCE(2, 3)

	A	B	C
1	1	2	3
2	4	5	6
3

Result for A1= SEQUENCE(2, 3, 3, 2)

	A	B	C
1	3	5	7
2	9	11	13
3

Result for A1= SEQUENCE(2, 3, 10, -1)

	A	B	C
1	10	9	8
2	7	6	5
3	4	3	2
