In B2 enter:

=(B$21-$B$1)/(21-1)+B1 

and copy downwards.

Each value is exactly 6850 greater than the value above it.

This can be solved in a generic way as follows (refer to the screenshot) :

  1. Calculate number equal length intervals for a given number of observations as (count -1) shown in C2.
  2. Calculate Bin_Size, i.e. length of each interval as (larger_num - smaller_num)/(count-1) as shown in D2.
  3. Calculate number at ith position as n_i = n_(i-1) + bin_size (as shown in B2).

Drag the formula in cell B2 down to the penultimate observation to fill in remaining values.
