auto renumbering rows with blank spaces
I am so stumped on this one simple function! I am compiling an inventory list
of key rings we loaned to employees. Since there are different departments with a varying amount of employees each, I skip a line between departments . The problem: there are 700+ employees so far and since I skip a line, renumbering if off, so I have to highlight each department and use the ROW() function to maintain the proper numbering sequence. I am sure that there is a function that allows for automatic renumbering, or automatic updating for the column whenever a row is deleted, added, etc. I just don't remember where to go to turn that on. Help! |

Try this...
Numbering will appear in column A based on entries in column B. Enter this formula in A1 and copy down as needed: =IF(B1="","",COUNTA(B$1:B1)) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "edithprado" wrote in message ... I am so stumped on this one simple function!

Put in A2 the following formula and copy down worksheet. Yo ucan't put it in
row 1 because you can't reference row 0 =COUNTA(A$1:A1)+1 "edithprado" wrote: I am so stumped on this one simple function! I am compiling an inventory list of key rings we loaned to employees.

auto renumbering rows with blank spaces
Hm, that doesn't really help. Maybe I should've better stated what I was
saying. I want the rows to automatically renumber when I delete/add a row and that formula does not do so. Also, I meant that I skip 2 lines before the numbering continues, one is a blank space and one does not "count" since it is a row that lists the name of the department. Thank you for your help though! "T. Valko" wrote: Try this... Numbering will appear in column A based on entries in column B.

Hmmm...
I'm pretty sure what I suggested will do what you want. If you delete a row the numbers will reorder. If you "add" rows by inserting them *within* the current range then you'll need an event macro to do this. I'm probably not the person to suggest how to do that, though! -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "edithprado" wrote in message ... Hm, that doesn't really help.

None of these seem to work, I'll just keep doing what I was doing. Thanks
