how to automatically number rows in an excel worksheet
Hello,
I am trying to automatically number rows in a worksheet. I have used the =ROW(A1) function and that works alright, BUT it doesn't re-adjust automatically after a row has been deleted or inserted. I also tried selecting the range and creating it as a LIST, which works when we delete a row, but when I insert a row, I have to double-click on the cross-hair on the bottom right corner of the previous cell. Does anyone know a way around this? MANY thanks!! |

how to automatically number rows in an excel worksheet
Don't include a cell reference within ROW()... i.e. just use =ROW()

how to automatically number rows in an excel worksheet
Thank you! Two questions:
1) when I use the =Row() function, then I cannot give the starting row the number 1 - it returns the row number that the cell is actually part of. 2) While this worked for me when inserting a row, it did not automatically adjust the numbers when I deleted a row. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. NewKid "NewKid" wrote: Hello, I am trying to automatically number rows in a worksheet.
