I'm not sure what "better" means, but here are the original and two others: m = 5 Table[i+1,{n,m},{i,n(n-1)/2,n(n-1)/2+n-1}] (* original *) Table[Range[1+n(n-1)/2,n(n+1)/2],{n,m}] (* clearest ? *) Range[2+#*#-#,#*#+#,2]/2&/@Range@m (* shortest ? *) 5 {{1},{2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9,10},{11,12,13,14,15}} {{1},{2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9,10},{11,12,13,14,15}} {{1},{2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9,10},{11,12,13,14,15}}
