Can I paste a sequence of numbers in a column without typing each

I can't remember the short cut to pasting numbers in a column of a chart
without typing each number out. The numbers begin with 001and carry on till
the end of the column. I am sure there is a pasting trick that I have
forgotten and Microsoft's question aid is not very helpful.
Is there anyone out there who would know the trick or am I just dreaming
that there is a shortcut?

Depends on what you mean by a "chart." If it's a table, you can click on a
column and then click the Numbering button. If it's the datasheet for a
chart, you could do this in a table in Word, then copy/paste into the
datasheet. Or you can create a sequence in Excel and paste in.
