Auto generate numbers in decending order in a column

[JsJ]

I just want to know how I can set up a column to auto generate numbers in
decsending order?

You could add a formula: =if(isblank(b2),"",a2+1) would be it for row 3 if
you, for instance, type a date in column B. But you'd need a macro to make
it happen automatically.

I just want to know how I can set up a column to auto generate numbers in
decsending order?

Depending on what you mean by auto generate...

Put the largest desired number (say 100) in a cell and the next largest
number (99 in my case) in the cell below it. Then, select both cells,
move the mouse to the bottom right of the selection (it will become a
black cross) and click and drag as far down as needed.

I am not sure how Anne's solution works here since it generates
ascending numbers based on the content of the adjacent column. Maybe
she knows something I don't. ;-)
