SEQUENCE Function Explained

The SEQUENCE function in Microsoft Excel generates a list of sequential numbers in an array, based on the given parameters. It takes three arguments: start_num, step, and stop_num. start_num is the first number in the sequence, step is the difference between each number in the sequence, and stop_num is the last number in the sequence. The SEQUENCE function is useful for creating a list of numbers for use in calculations or for creating a chart.
