If your data is in column B and you want to give serial numbers in
column A then put following formula in A1 if your data starts in B1

=IF(A1<"",COUNTA($A$1:A1),"") and copy this formula down in column A.
now if you delete the data in column B serial numbers in col A will
automatically be adjusted.

hope this serves your purpose.
