How to make start:interval:end column in excel?

Question

In excel I'd like to be able to fill a column with linearly spaced values without having to drag the formula down.

For example, I want to be able to:

• start at 0
• move in steps of 0.1
• fill the next cell
• stop before going over 2*pi

I would imagine something like this would work:

0:0.1:2*pi()

Is it possible to do this with excel? In the past I would fill the top cell with 0 then make a formula that increases by 0.1 and drag it down and mess around with it until the last value is where I'd like it to be. I don't like this method and would like a more efficient way.
