serial numbers

[Naveed]

Hi,
When we put serial numbers in Excel sheet for example top to down 1 to
100 and we delete a row for example 30th so is this possible that serial
number can auto update and that sheet shows 1 to 99 nothing missing in-between

Looking for your resp.

Use =ROW() function instead of constant numbers!

Nice solutions. To complete Stefi's solution, if you start from let say B13,
in order to get numbers starting from one, you have to use:
Row()-12

Or you could use:

=ROW(A1)

on the first row (row 12), and then copy it down.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can try this as well.

1. Enter 1 in the first cell, say E6;
2. In cell E6, enter MAX($E$6:E6)+1 and copy down

Now if you delete any row, the serial number will automatically update. This
would be marginally more efficient than the ROW() function because MAX() is
a non volatile function

A minor correction is necessary in your function. The next formula
should be entered in cell E7 not E6. A clever and nice solution.

Please follow following steps
1.Enter values 1 in first cell (say C1) and 2 to the second cell (say C2)
2.Now select cell C3 and enter following formula
=MAX($C$1:C2)+1
3.Now drag the cell C3 below to apply it to other cells as well

Hope you get it

Have a nice time….
