How do I "fill down" in Numbers 3.5?

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to use Numbers 3.5 instead of Excel file for my work, and I need to put in a lot of number in sequence, ex: 1,2,3,4,5,..........
In excel, there is a easy way just to click on the column right end with alternate key and pull down until the last number I want, but I couldn't do it in Numbers 3.5, anyone can help please?
Thanks

Hi Jul,
With a number series, you need to give Numbers a hint about the steps. Other series seem to "just work".

To Fill columns A, D ,E, F,  or G select the first cell and hover the cursor over the bottom cell border to see a yellow dot ( Fill Handle).
Drag the Fill Handle down
With a number series, select the first two cells
And drag down.
You can also drag up
Or left or right
