Hello:

I have a huge spreadsheet representing accounting journal entries. The
problem is that there is not a column for journal entries, so I have to
create one.

One column contains debits and the next column contains the corresponding
credits. This spreadsheet has over 16,000 rows. If you are familiar with
accounting, you know that a journal entry will match each set of matching
debits and credits. So, as you can imagine, there are thousands of potential
journal entries in this spreadsheet.

Is there a way to create a column of journal entries beginning with 1 and
incrementing by 1 for each set of matching debits and credits? Having to
manually type and create these journal entries in a column is taking hours
and I don't have that kind of time.

Thanks!
