I have created a workbook that has three frozen rows at the top of the page.
Is there a way to start numbering the rows below those 3 first.
I.E.

XDate
XJim Glass huts
XSales record
----------
1
2
3

For appearance sake..............................

You can enter =ROW(-3) in A4 then copy down.

Then uncheck ToolsOptionsViewRow and Column Headers.

BUT for the sake of formulas, A4 is still A4 no matter that it says 1.

I'm lost, I tried the formula but it gives me an error in formula.

I think Gord may have meant to write this...

=ROW()-3
