Making a list
I am trying to make an inventory list where I have consecutive numbers. I
don't want to type each number individually. Is there a special function that will do that automatically? Thanks for your help. |
Making a list
In a cell enter =ROW() and copy down.

Making a list
The question is are these inventory numbers, permanent asset numbers
in which case you would not want to use a formula and you would not want to insert or delete rows once you start affixing labels. You can place a 1 where you want the numbers to start, perhaps a 2 under it and extend the sequence with the fill handle. If the numbers are to be fluid and you want to insert and delete rows then you can use =ROW() - k where k is a constant to adjust the number such as 1 so that if on row 2 you would see the number 1. This would be just an item count not likely to be used as an asset or inventory number. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Gary''s Student" wrote in message ...
