How do i number a list of data in excel 2003?
I was shown once, but I can't remember how it was done. I have a list of 5000
things and I need to number then 1-5000, but don't want to go through all 5000. I have seen it done where you type the first few like 1-7 and then use a shortcut and drag it down the rest of the list and the numbers will populate. Please help! |

You can try something like this: =IF(B1="","",COUNTA($B$1:B1) copy down....or if there are no gabs in your list simply double click on the lower right corner of the cell.

I think you might be referring to Edit | Fill. Type your first entry
(1) in the first cell of a blank column. Highlight that cell down to 5000. Select Edit | Fill | Series, and you will need Linear with a Step Value of 1. Click OK and your rows will be numbered. You could also use the formula =ROW() and copy down, then fix the values with <copy Edit | Paste Special | Values | OK then <esc or <enter. Hope this helps Pete |
