Default How do you auto-number a large list of rows in Excel?

On Home tab go to far right to "Editing" section.

Click on the downarrow icon to see a list of fill options.

Without having to type each number from 1 to, say, 300, and hit the down
arrow or enter in between each, isn't there a command in Excel that will
automatically do this for you?
