Forgive my lack of comprehension, but what exactly do you mean by "copy AND increment" [emphasis added]?
I added the emphasis because the combination, frankly, doesn't make sense. Copying does not include incrementing; incrementing precludes copying. At least in my understanding of those two words.
So could you clarify
(a) what result you're seeking, and
(b) maybe what the larger context is here. What, in other words, is this part of? How will these copied OR incremented numbers be used, in connection with what larger endeavor?
I'm also on Macs with Office 365.
