how do I put a a sequence number into colun A automatically witho.
I would like to give a number to every item I write in every row in excel
automatically in order not to repeat it, in every row I display name and related specs of each item I sell, example 101 printer 102 scanner 103 camera 104 scanner 105 printer I'm trying to give each item I sell a personal number to which we may refer in the future, we and the customer who bought it, thanks for the help |

Custodio,
Assuming cell A1 is your start cell, add the number 101 to that cell. In cell A2 add the formula "=A1+1". Copy that formula down the range A3, A4, A5, etc. You should get 101 in cell A1, 102 in cell A2, 103 in cell A3, 104 in cell A4, 105 in cell A5, etc. ---- Regards, John Mansfield http://www.pdbook.com "Custodio Bernardes" wrote: I would like to give a number to every item I write in every row in excel automatically in order not to repeat it, in every row I display name and related specs of each item I sell, example 101 printer 102 scanner 103 camera 104 scanner 105 printer I'm trying to give each item I sell a personal number to which we may refer in the future, we and the customer who bought it, thanks for the help |

Custodio,
A formula approach can be used, but you must never insert or delete an item, sort the table, etc. The result will be to renumber your items. A macro can assign the next available number, which would be permanently put into the sheet. If you're willing to use a macro, we'll write you one. We'd need to know if deletions are allowed from the table. -- Earl Kiosterud mvpearl omitthisword at verizon period net ------------------------------------------- "Custodio Bernardes" <Custodio wrote in message ...
